Our sole responsibility is to produce something smarter than we are; any problems beyond that are not ours to solve …. [T]here are no hard problems, only problems that are hard to a certain level of intelligence. Move the smallest bit upwards [in level of intelligence], and some problems will suddenly move from “impossible” to “obvious.” Move a substantial degree upwards, and all of them will become obvious. —ELIEZER S. YUDKOWSKY, STARING INTO THE SINGULARITY, 1996
