#3It's odd to take an anecdote about what a person did thousands of years ago (assuming Archimedes actually existed, I suppose we have decent evidence) and use that as the gold standard for how the human mind functions.

#4There is nothing special about human intelligence. We will have smarter computers in our life time and I'm willing to place bets.

Why have you decided to triviliaze human brain understanding? Except if you believe you have discovered a way to boost IQ.

Here's a possibly related bet I have with a friend: "If, in ten year's time (from March 2021) self-driven cars outnumber manually-driven cars on the US roadways, I will buy you dinner. (and vice-versa, he buys if they don't.)"
I think it's a reasonably harder task than playing chess for assessing whatever it is we mean by 'intelligence' and my bias is that the difficulties remain under-appreciated by the technical optimists among us. But I could be wrong.
What sort of bets are you willing to place?

#7If true then robot cars are scarier then I've thought ... AI is going to be able to process the right scenario to avoid a deadly crash within the first decade or more of market adoption or the programmers are going to learn and ship bug fixes for each person their prior code killed?
*I'm always downvoted for this thought but is this not the true way forward with robot cars? Those who downvote me think the first batch of market adopted robot cars and their AI is perfect and is not going perform the wrong scenario ... people arent going to be killed by these things?

That sounds like a commercial acceptance bet rather than a technology one but yeah I would take the same bet. But I'd bet by 2031 driving a car will not be the peak of AI.

The special part is the lived experience of social animals and everything that goes with that. Stuff that we have to work hard to get machines to understand, since they're not conscious biological creatures that have to survive, and thus we have to train or program them in a way that is somewhat different from being born and raised as a human.

The word "smarter" masks some of the complexity here. If you define it as "higher performance on a task widely considered to require intelligence", then we've had computers that are smarter than humans for at least decades. If you define it as "higher performance on every task widely considered to require intelligence", then I'll take that bet, please.
