Is there anything on LessWrong about human-based superintelligence? I'm a newbie and about to write a lengthy post about. But the idea seems pretty obvious and is likely to be expressed before somewhere.
As far as I remember, the following kinds of human-based superintelligences were discussed here:
Relevant tag: intelligence amplification
Is any of this close to your idea?
Thank you, I had to clarify better.
Maybe the cyborgs are closer, but without physical implants, only as advanced forms of software, like knowledge databases
In some sense, a man with a pencil and paper is much better mathematician than a man without them. And we have not yet reached the limits of how helpful the helpful tools could be. For example, there are various forms of note-taking software, and people debate endlessly about their advantages and disadvantages, which suggests that all of them are far from perfect. (And that's still about personal notes. A perfect tool for collaborative note-taking would require even more functions.)
Okay, sounds potentially interesting, go ahead! (I hope you don't mean zettelkasten.)
