Respectfully, just because we can put together some words doesn’t mean they make a meaningful expression, even if everybody keeps repeating them as if they did make sense: e.g. an omnipotent God, artificial general intelligence, super-intelligence, infinitely many angels sitting on the tip of a needle, etc.



Is your comment self-referential?


I don’t think so. If you look at the thread, it’s already devolved into an analogue of “what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable obstacle?”

(Specifically I mean the comment about another “super-intelligence” preventing whatever your flavor of “super-intelligence” does.)

At this point we can safely assume words have lost their connection to physical reality. No offense to you, just my two-cent meta comment.
