    Here we have John von Neumann. 

    And then we have you and me. 

    And then we have a chicken. 

    Sorry, a chicken.

    There's no reason for me to make this talk more depressing than it needs to be.

    It seems overwhelmingly likely, however, that the spectrum of intelligence extends much further than we currently conceive, and if we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely explore this spectrum in ways that we can't imagine, and exceed us in ways that we can't imagine.

    Questions:

    1.What does Harris believe about the spectrum of intelligence?

    it extends far beyond what people can conceive. 

    2.What does Harris believe intelligence is?

    information being processed in physical systems.

    3.Why does Harris think that the rate of technological progress is insignificant?

    Progress will inevitable lead to AI as long as it isn't interrupted.

    4.General intelligence is the ability to think flexibly across many domains.

    5.To safeguard something means to protect it from harm.

    6.Why are users more likely to send messages to people who others don't find attractive?

    They think there will be less competition.

    7.An incentive is something that motivates a person to do something.

    8.if a rate of increase is exponential, it becomes faster and faster.

    Fill in the blanks:

    If only half the stories about him are half true, there's no question he's one of the smartest people who has ever lived.

    We have already built narrow intelligence into our machines, and many of these machines perform at a level of superhuman intelligence already. 

    Repeat & Read Sentences:

    1.The train is already out of the station, and there's no brake to pull.

    2.We want to cure diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer.

    3.We have problems that we desperately need to solve.

    4.It's not totally true that the more attractive you are,  the more messages you get.

    5.He believes humanity will either be wiped out or continue progressing.

    6.I'm going to describe how the gains we make in artificial intelligence could ultimately destroy us.

    7.The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they're conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.

    8.One of the things that worries me most about the development of AI at this point is that we seem unable to marshal an appropriate emotional response to the dangers that lie ahead.
