106 comments so far and the word "artificial" (as in "artificial general intelligence", AI, or AGI) hasn't come up!?
As near as I can tell, if someone gets AGI to really work properly (and get even a not-very-explodey sort of intelligence explosion, just exponential curves with double times of months or years), it is likely, in the span of years to decades, to become worth more than the entire present value of the economy of the planet. How can this not be an investment opportunity?
Also I appreciate the way you incremented the count, and expressed implicit minor surprise that your previous comment did not mention AGI!
Perhaps it is in part due to my suggestion of a 1-3 year time horizon. But it is plausible that it could be discovered in 1-3 years.
Do you have suggestions on how one would invest on this thesis? (Invest in land and commodities? Or Google???)
For what it is worth, I started working at Google about five months ago and am legally classified (as are all of Google's full time software engineers) as an "insider". Thus: no comment :-P
