Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here?

  Gonna suck for the machine since it’s incapable of movement or doing anything other than pressing the button. No IoT device here.

    That’s true! You have nothing to worry about. The magic button is not making the button-pushing machine smarter by adding circuits which make it smarter, which enable it to plan, which enable it to communicate. You have nothing to worry about, YOU are getting smarter… you’re getting smarter… you’re getting smarter…
