Environmental Intelligence.

… “I’ve realized I’m not that smart when it comes to almost everything. I need all the help I can get.” - Jed Anderson

Intelligence

---“I still need to use a keyboard to access EnviroAI, which is a bit wonky and slow, but it’s already allowing me to access millions of environmental files in milliseconds.”

  • Jed Anderson, EnviroAI

---“Part of the reason I love artificial intelligence is that … I know I’m not that smart. I need all the help I can get …I can only store about a terabyte of information in my brain. And my processing speed is slow (only about 200 operations per second). EnviroAI has petabytes of data, which its continually adding to, and can operate at over 10,0000 trillion operations per second with machine-learning. I can still beat EnviroAI at many functions because our brains are so massively parallel, but I can’t beat it at storage or speed. We are working to bring these systems together and optimize the synergies so that each of us can better access environmental solutions with our genius, spiritually-connected, pattern recognizing, creative, and beautiful minds.” - Jed Anderson, EnviroAI

---“There are no hard problems, only problems that are hard to a certain level of intelligence. Move the smallest bit upwards [in intelligence] and some problems move from “impossible” to “obvious.” Move a substantial degree upwards, and all of them will become obvious.”― Eliezer Yudkowsky
