Conjecture
SYNERGY. The gap between today's groups and far smarter ones is organisation, not machine intelligence. Malone: "even with no more intelligence in our machines than we have today", cheap communication and coordination could "create far smarter groups" by engaging far more people and organising their work far more effectively. So a planetary collective intelligence is buildable with current models, and waiting for better models before redesigning how contributions are organised is waiting on the wrong variable.

groundsSuperminds (audiobook machine transcript), Thomas W. Malone
even with no more intelligence in our machines than we have today, we have the potential to create far smarter groups just by using computers' cheap communication and coordination capabilities to productively engage far more people and organize their work far more effectively than we usually do today.
