What if there were one Holy Grail for AGI/ASI?
How about a drug or treatment that increases some combination of IQ, empathy, compassion, and/or self-restraint by 10-25% or more?
In other words, maybe the main thing we should be working on is a drug that would unify us as a species.
Reducing self-harm and conflict, and increasing cooperation as humans on Earth would be the meta-upgrade.
We should set this as a goal.
