This is fascinating to me since I am getting vision corrective surgery soon, where could I learn more about this?

I've never heard of a "smart cane", I'm curious why its a dumb idea?
Super Intelligence would expand at near the speed of light, reaching us extremely fast. It would be unlikely for the window of time that we have telescopes and the window that the aliens are expanding towards us to overlap.

What if you could upload a photo of your hand and the RL agent learns the optimal fingering for your hand?

As a lower bound we now know a non artist can produce passable art in a few minutes. There is indeed a large practical difference between a few minutes and a few seconds, but I trust in the power of incremental progress.
