We already have plenty of those computers. For example, Google computers are able to process the amount of information no human can possibly process during their lifetime. Other computers can help with design or optimization problems that are so complex that no human can perform them in any reasonable time. Does it mean that those computers are more intelligent than humans?

They aren't intelligent by any reasonable definition. Just ask them what color the sky is.

But they are intelligent, according to your own definition:

"A computer that is thousands of times more intelligent than humans, means it can do things we might think are impossible. Come up with solutions to problems we would never think of in our lifetimes. Manage levels of complexity no human could deal with."

Or did you just redefine intelligence as: "the ability to tell what color the sky is?"

Sure, but you would get the baby situation I posited years before what you're envisioning. You're skipping a bunch of steps. My hypotheticals (if they ever do happen) would occur way before your hypotheticals. Progress does not go in "Foomp" steps.

Everything goes in foomp steps if you condense time enough. Condense the last 200,000 years of human evolution to a couple minutes, and it goes 'Foomp', and the super foompy part doesn't happen until the last 2/10ths of a second with industrial civilization wherein the development of global networks compounds our collective intelligence exponentially, yielding unforeseeable emergent properties. So certainly you would…

This makes no logical sense, You're not addressing my point about the fact that the intermediate progress will be chronologically ordered in time.
