I felt an extreme Deja Vu when I saw the title for this.

I’m pretty sure I saw a post with the same name a couple of months ago. I don’t remember what the post was actually about, so I can’t really compare substance, but I have to ask. Did you post this before?

Again, sorry if this is me being crazy.

  No, there was a very very similar post, about how governments are already super intelligences and seem to show no evidence of fooming.

    oh, sorry I missed it. I’ve only started looking at LW recently. Does anyone have a link?

    Okay, thanks. That was really bothering me.

  Certainly I wrote about this idea long ago—in Self improving systems are here already—from 2009.
  
  The abstract from the associated video:
  
  A video discussing the idea that self-improving systems already exist—in the form of companies and other organisations—and that future self-improving systems are likely to arise from the evolution of existing organisations.
