I was surprised when you recounted that he thought Einstein belonged in the transhuman end of the intelligence spectrum.
Did he think that? Or was it that Einstein was close to an upper bound on intelligence for any mind, artificial or otherwise?
ETA: Someone here once linked to a Usenet conversation in which Greg Egan expressed a similar view.
Well, either way, it’s surprising.
