Creating time to actually think or not think at all is becoming an intentional skill to develop as it no longer comes by default through just the natural, quiet gaps that used to exist in a day.
The jury is still out on how original I can stretch my mind to look for original thoughts born out of nothingness and not just rehasing what's already there on a deeper level.
I think what comes pretty close is the coming together of different information I've already gathered from the external world and find new personal angles that said information can be looked through leading to potentially entirely new architectures of understanding that didn't exist in the source material.
As of late, hyperlogic is one of those words that I'm thinking on, in terms of how it relates to the AI age we're entering. I'm thinking whether AI agents in their current form have achieved any level of hyperlogic, based on all the training data they have received.
As per definition, hyperlogic is basically going from point A to point Z without having to traverse all the way between these two points. It just cuts through processes and arrives at destinations.
For example, location-wise, going from Rome to Beijing without the friction of the miles, borders, and passage of time. Non-location wise, the cognitive "jump" that bypasses the linear steps of trial and error. It is reaching a conclusion by recognizing a pattern before the evidence has fully manifested, which is essentially arriving at the truth before you've done the work to prove it.
Instant delivery
The seamlessness and relatively fast response in which AI agents can solve tasks makes me wonder if we are witnessing the permanent death of the middle?
I mean, we are used to the value of an idea being found in the struggle of the B through Y via the research involved, endless drafts or iterations to prove the idea and necessary failures that come along the way. When all of these no longer becomes a necessity on average, have we evolved to the level of supermind with the cost being a potential loss of the experience of time passing?
On a human lens, what comes close to hyperlogic is intuition for example for a particular field develop through decades of practice. An actual field here could be medicine, ability to hear a distinct sound and know what's specifically wrong with the system, for example.
I could see intuition plus hyperlogic for humans being something around instant knowing.
In that world, I wonder how the body will cope with that intensity of mental/emotional activity, perhaps a dystopian aspect is having drug like intakes to either limit the impact on the body of said activities or boost the recovery speed to jump back into a near normal state.
I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud here. But either the body needs to adapt or the mind needs to dumb down to achieve some equilibrium of sorts against a hyperlogic state of existence.
As a word, supermind seems incompletely exciting, I guess. When superbody? Perhaps, after AI agents have fully migrated into the physical realm. The creators become beneficiaries after the beneficiaries have become creators.
