I’ve reached the point where I real­ize I’m not going to get appre­cia­bly smarter with­out out­side inter­ven­tion.  Drugs might work a bit, but I think for true super­hu­man brain pow­ers, I’m going to need to inter­face my brain with a coprocessor. 

And I started to won­der how that will feel.  Will it be seam­less? Or will it be like the voice of a per­sonal assis­tant in your head point­ing things out.   How would chil­dren turn out if they had a weak AI com­pan­ion in their head aid­ing them in their think­ing as they grow up?  What if some­one decided all they needed for com­pany was their own co-​​processor?

The stuff writ­ers think about in the shower, I guess.
