On cognitive tasks that parallelize well across massive numbers of humans being paid to work on them, corporations exhibit superhuman levels of ability compared to an individual human\\.\nIn order to try and grasp the overall performance boost from organizing into a corporation, consider a Microsoft\\-sized corporation trying to play Go in 2010\\. The corporation could potentially pick out its strongest player and so gain high\\-human performance, but would probably not play very far above that individual level, and so would not be able to defeat the individual world champion\\. Consider also the famous chess game of Kasparov vs\\. The World, which Kasparov ultimately won\\.\nOn massively parallel cognitive tasks, corporations exhibit strongly superhuman performance; the best passenger aircraft designable by Boeing seems likely to be far superior to the best passenger aircraft that could be designed by a single engineer at Boeing\\.\nIn virtue of being composed of humans, corporations have most of the advanced\\-agent properties that humans themselves do:\nThey can deploy general intelligence and cross\\-domain consequentialism\\.\nThey possess big\\-picture strategic awareness and operate in the real\\-world domain\\.\nThey can deploy realistic psychological models of humans and try to deceive them\\.\nAlso in virtue of being composed of humans, corporations are not in general Vingean\\-unpredictable, hence not systematically cognitively uncontainable\\. Without constituent researchers who know secret phenomena of a domain, corporations are not strongly cognitively uncontainable\\.\nCorporations are not epistemically efficient relative to humans, except perhaps in limited domains for the extremely few such that have deployed internal prediction markets with sufficiently high participation and subsidy\\. \\(The stock prices of large corporations are efficient, but the corporations aren't; often the stock price tanks after the corporation does something stupid\\.\\)\nCorporations are not instrumentally efficient\\. No currently known method exists for aggregating human strategic acumen into an instrumentally efficient conglomerate the way that prediction markets try to do for epistemic predictions about near\\-term testable events\\. It is often possible for a human to see a better strategy for accomplishing the corporation's pseudo\\-goals than the corporation is pursuing\\.\nCorporations generally exhibit little interest in fundamental cognitive self\\-improvement, e\\.g\\. extremely few of them have deployed internal prediction markets \\(perhaps since the predictions of these internal prediction markets are often embarrassing to overconfident managers\\)\\. Since corporate intelligence is almost entirely composed of humans, most of the basic algorithms running a corporation are not subject to improvement by the corporation\\. Attempts to do crude analogues of this tend to, e\\.g\\., bog down the entire corporation in bureaucracy and internal regulations, rather than resulting in genetic engineering of better executives or an intelligence explosion\\.\nCorporations have no basic speed advantage over their constituent humans, since speed does not parallelize\\.\n', anchorText: 'realistic psychological models', anchorOffset: '1362', mergedInto: '', isDeleted: 'false', viewCount: '345', text: 'Do we need a theory of mind article to link to here, or is a highlight sufficient?', metaText: '', isTextLoaded: 'true', isSubscribedToDiscussion: 'false', isSubscribedToUser: 'false', isSubscribedAsMaintainer: 'false', discussionSubscriberCount: '1', maintainerCount: '1', userSubscriberCount: '0', lastVisit: '', hasDraft: 'false', votes: [], voteSummary: 'null', muVoteSummary: '0', voteScaling: '0', currentUserVote: '-2', voteCount: '0', lockedVoteType: '', maxEditEver: '0', redLinkCount: '0', lockedBy: '', lockedUntil: '', nextPageId: '', prevPageId: '', usedAsMastery: 'false', proposalEditNum: '0', permissions: { edit: { has: 'false', reason: 'You don't have domain permission to edit this page' }, proposeEdit: { has: 'true', reason: '' }, delete: { has: 'false', reason: 'You don't have domain permission to delete this page' }, comment: { has: 'false', reason: 'You can't comment in this domain because you are not a member' }, proposeComment: { has: 'true', reason: '' } }, summaries: {}, creatorIds: [ 'BrianMuhia' ], childIds: [], parentIds: [ 'corps_vs_si' ], commentIds: [], questionIds: [], tagIds: [], relatedIds: [], markIds: [], explanations: [], learnMore: [], requirements: [], subjects: [], lenses: [], lensParentId: '', pathPages: [], learnMoreTaughtMap: {}, learnMoreCoveredMap: {}, learnMoreRequiredMap: {}, editHistory: {}, domainSubmissions: {}, answers: [], answerCount: '0', commentCount: '0', newCommentCount: '0', linkedMarkCount: '0', changeLogs: [ { likeableId: '0', likeableType: 'changeLog', myLikeValue: '0', likeCount: '0', dislikeCount: '0', likeScore: '0', individualLikes: [], id: '22709', pageId: '8hr', userId: 'BrianMuhia', edit: '1', type: 'newEdit', createdAt: '2017-07-06 21:35:07', auxPageId: '', oldSettingsValue: '', newSettingsValue: '' } ], feedSubmissions: [], searchStrings: {}, hasChildren: 'false', hasParents: 'true', redAliases: {}, improvementTagIds: [], nonMetaTagIds: [], todos: [], slowDownMap: 'null', speedUpMap: 'null', arcPageIds: 'null', contentRequests: {} }
