SYNERGY. Malone already drew the blueprint for a governed collective superintelligence, and it is a stack, not a single mind. His cyber-human strategy machine is, in his words, "an architecture for a general-purpose problem-solving machine": markets, contests and communities propose options, democracies and hierarchies evaluate them, computers take on more of the work over time, and people make the final choice among the handful of options that survive. Its safety property is where authority sits: generation is open and scales with machines, while the final choice stays with accountable people. That is the shape of our design, so our task is to build and govern a known architecture, not to invent one.

  Over time, computers would do more and more of the work, but people would still be involved in parts of the process. The end result would be a handful of the most promising options from which the human managers of the company would make their final choices.

  It is a kind of ecosystem supermind that combines markets, the contests, communities, for proposing ideas, democracies, and hierarchies, for evaluating ideas.

  But what we've really seen is an architecture for a general-purpose problem-solving machine.
