Superintelligence. A superintelligence, hyperintelligence, or superhuman intelligence is a hypothetical agent that possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds. ‘’Superintelligence’’ may also refer to the form or degree of intelligence possessed by such an agent.
Technological forecasters and researchers disagree about when human intelligence is likely to be surpassed. Some argue that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will probably result in general reasoning systems that lack human cognitive limitations. Others believe that humans will evolve or directly modify their biology so as to achieve radically greater intelligence. Gavinkeech: Polytopia Project Map GEN010. This iteration/generation of the Polytopia Project map (derived from notthisbody's conversation mapping +) was designed by utilising the raw information distributed to me in Australia, as it emerged in Italy, during the lead up to the Polytopia Presentation to be handed out (printed) at the TransVision 2010 conference. notthisbody, wildcat, spaceweaver and starwalker over the course of the weekend (back in the day), sent live voice recordings and ongoing 'generational conversation maps' of their discussions which consisted of distilled analysis of core values for what the Polytopia Project encompasses.
Working along side them over the couple of days and integrating the highly distilled, yet raw information from their live analysis of terms, fundamental values of what the polytopia project stands for, was a great experience and one i was stoked to be involved with.

[Translations: Italian] Scenius is like genius, only embedded in a scene rather than in genes.
Brian Eno suggested the word to convey the extreme creativity that groups, places or “scenes” can occasionally generate. Collaborative Intelligence Definitions. Whether groups can be supported to make better decisions matters.
Extending the work of Irving Janis, James Surowiecki argues that the study of groups is important for two reasons: “First, small groups are ubiquitous in American life, and their decisions are consequential. Le juteux marché du coaching. Si à 50 ans vous n'avez pas de Rolex et jamais eu de coach, c'est que vous n'avez pas réussi.
Aujourd'hui, le coach est devenu un attribut du pouvoir et de la réussite sociale. On ne trouve guère de coach attaché aux employés, ouvriers, techniciens et enseignants, mais évidemment beaucoup aux dirigeants et cadre un tant soi peu importants. Il faut dire que leurs prestations ne sont pas gratuites. Un véritable marché s'est formé en quelques années, sur lequel opèrent des gourous et de multiples cabinets. Sur le site Amazon, on trouve 852 ouvrages en langue française portant sur le coaching, dont 131 sur le coaching professionnel. TIPIDIA. Idiagram: The Art of Insight and Action. Oycib.

(Google uses a logarithmic scale.) Page C has a higher PageRank than Page E, even though there are fewer links to C; the one link to C comes from an important page and hence is of high value. If web surfers who start on a random page have an 85% likelihood of choosing a random link from the page they are currently visiting, and a 15% likelihood of jumping to a page chosen at random from the entire web, they will reach Page E 8.1% of the time. (The 15% likelihood of jumping to an arbitrary page corresponds to a damping factor of 85%.) Without damping, all web surfers would eventually end up on Pages A, B, or C, and all other pages would have PageRank zero.
PageRank (PR) is an algorithm used by Google Search to rank websites in their search engine results. New algorithm helps evaluate, rank scientific literature. CTD text mining technical overview (credit: Allan Peter Davis et al.
/PLoS ONE) Keeping up with current scientific literature is a daunting task, considering that hundreds to thousands of papers are published each day. Now researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a computer program to help them evaluate and rank scientific articles in their field.
