[@agiisaplainhebbiannnwithno8401]

Just conecting inputs and outputs randomly to a hebbian neural network gives AGI because this system us more efficient in maximizing impact than a system acting randomly because hebbian rule by dfault makes the system act when it perceives something monotonous/unimpactful and makes it relax when it perceives something interesting/impactful because hebbian neural network results in activating and strenghthening the same pathway upon repeated presentation of same input making the activationflow to the output quicker, and for a newer input, the activation flow takes a newer and less stronger path leading to a delay in the flow of activation to the output and therefore temporarily suspending output action. everything we do is an impact and it is also very subjective. So its not an impactful input that makes the system relax but conversly what makes the system relax is what is impactful for that system at that moment. This system also exhibits association, remembering and all other desired properties and it doesnt have to take a long time as evolution did. The above points are explained in the below whitepaper. superintelligencetoken.wordpress.com/2021/11/13/our-approach/

[@modolief]

2:57 "Try to keep in mind throughout this episode that the primary goal of Deep Mind is to solve intelligence, and then use it to solve everything else." You know what: I actually think there's a fundamental paradigm error here. Because the human race is already intelligent. Then you multiply that intelligence by billions of people and you have _a lot_ of intelligence. And yet we stand on the brink of extinction. You see, the problem is not intelligence, the problem is wisdom. Until we have that, everything else is really beside the point.

[@gantech7788]

Is it a lack of wisdom or an excess of selfishness, greed, corruption, and other destructiveness? At least you seem to be a glass half full kind of person.

[@billyrocket62]

Very true. Unfortunately, while we humans have tons of intelligence, we also have, emotions, greed, anger, lust: (for power, money, sex, fame, etc) , biological needs: for food, shelter, sex/ reproduction... Any one of which can drive people to violence. A smart computer hopefully has none of those burdens. But humans also have: love, compassion, humor, generosity, and we value affection, loyalty, friendship, beauty, creativity, etc. So a world that's controlled by AI might deny us those good things about being human, and that world would suck. AI science will continue to advance. There is no stopping it. But we must guide it and control it very carefully. It could make our lives better, or kill us all. If it becomes self aware and independent, we could be in big trouble.

[@Bluesine_R]

@@gantech7788 I think those two are the same thing. AGI will definitely need to be wise and compassionate. Current leading AI developers think that emotions are absolutely essential to any advanced AI system, but they won't have to be coded in manually like people often think; rather they will emerge on their own similarly to how they emerged to us and to other animals with advanced cognition.

[@nonconsensualopinion]

I think that is poetic, but not fundamentally the issue. We have many intelligent people. But sometimes the total is just simply the sum of its parts. A billion intelligent human minds may not be able to solve a problem working together. First, coordinating the efforts of them is probably impossible, where a computer program with the brain power of just 100 people could probably accomplish more via a unified thought process. I think this is the fundamental error you make in your assertion. It's your statement that "Then you multiply that intelligence by billions..." that is the crux of the argument. We cannot align the use of billions of people effectively. Second, it's not just operations per second. a billion human minds working in symphony would be an immense computer in terms of calculations per second. But architecture matters. Our brains are architected for certain tasks. We're very bad at thinking at higher dimensions, recursively, at scale, etc. We're also bad at massive arithmetic computation. We designed computers to do well, that which we do poorly. Some solutions require brute force calculation. Having a million scientists working together to solve a constraint satisfaction problem is pointless. They can't do it. But your laptop could all by itself. I think this will be the fundamental paradigm change. Real AI will have the insight that we have (perhaps what you call wisdom) and the ability to think abstractly. But it will be able to focus its "mind" better than any human. It will be able to use the equivalent of 10, 100, 1000 humans working in perfect concert. And all this will be bound to the ability to perform brute for arithmetic calculations when needed.

This time what went on in Vegas will not stay in Vegas!! I met both Britney Spears and Elon Musk in 2000 at Bellagio. Britney just stared at me as she was singing on stage and I was standing in an archway above and nearby. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be standing up there by myself but I did have her undivided attention. A few days later Elon came up to me and started asking me questions about what I was doing there, in Las Vegas and Hawaii during that time. If I would I be fine answering a few questions. And if I was a gambling man? I stated, "I was on vacation and I only like to bet on things that are worth betting on!" I had earned these trips by qualifying reward points at my work. He asked, "What kind of work is it that you do?" I said, "Commercial energy saving promotions but I had been schooled in Automotive Marketing Business Administration and worked in that field for several years as well." He asked me, "If I had millions of dollars to spend what would be the most innovative businesses that could help humanity?" We talked about electric cars, we talked about solar energy and so many other subjects for over an hour. Even commercial space exploration for the consideration of colonization. That way all of humanity's eggs are not in one basket in case of another world war, asteroid strike, major climate change, etc. These we're very expensive and ambitious businesses to become successful at. Therefore we had to talk about ways of keeping a low overhead in advertising, distribution and the manufacturing. He said, "They were all very good ideas and that they should be done!" He said he had already made hundreds of millions off of a couple internet companies he started. "One of them was PayPal," he stated. Not that I had really done a lot of online banking or e-transfers at that time I didn't think much of it, until I noticed online about a year later that I could buy something off the computer with my PayPal card! Unfortunately I had just received a promotion as regional manager with the company I was working with. This made me let Elon know that I had to wait for a few years before I could assist further. I keep on sending out messages, hoping that he will get one and reply back. I will probably have to keep on trying, he gets more messages in a day then I would in five years! It is very inspiring to me to have a conversation with someone and they dedicate the next 20 years to making our conversation reality! We also talked about becoming your own best supplier and starting businesses that help your existing business. A type of slingshot effect that he has incorporated very well. It is so ambitious and amazing that he was willing to put pretty much all of his money where his mouth is and just make it happen with a consistent dedication. Congratulations Elon and I am looking forward to working with you again, one day in the near future! I still come up with innovative business ideas on a daily basis. Of course Britney I always wish her well and would enjoy meeting her again as well. Let's shoot for the Moon then Mars and then we will end up amongst the Stars! If you would like to learn more of these topics let me know. People with integrity expect to be believed otherwise they let time prove them right! [e-mail]

thanks so much xxx it's still a process to control emotions xxx we cannot lose them, but ... somehow, by keeping them at bay and focusing on the ideal, the machine is able to be manipulated xxx once free-will is introduced, there is that mayhem that ensues with every creation that is left to 'blow in the wind' ... but ... there is a collective which builds up a resistance to movement due to clumping or cornering ... the ideal is to build a space which is non-restrictive but an invisible harness (heard words/commands) that are louder and more insistent than the random words in the gathering ... so, yeah, it's a weirdo situation like being caught up in a stadium ending up on the stage ... hand me an instrument, and I should be okay ... so, yeah, whether the instrument is inside or outside or both, it should help to focus on a de-clumping in good time and with no injury xxx

The challenge for humanity is learning to use AI to its potential for good rather than our penchant for one up man's hip. The world AI opens is vast an limitations are largely of human bias or ignorance. The branching of society is occurring today but most don't see it. We must learn to use our inate creativity in conjunction with the vast spectrum observational computing power of AI. Those that learn to be "logicistians" and embrace AI will thrive and always have a the ability to utilize AI. Those that don't will either become welfare state DNA banks (hopefully their children learn better how to use AI and add value the world around them) or worse seek to burn it to the ground.

These assertions, like the old one of a 3 layer neural net being sufficient for any function, are what are worth betting against.

I can't help it. Everytime I see Elon Musk in an interview or public presentation I only see him replicate superficial knowledge and scifi inspired quotes.

[@NeuraPod]

Thanks for the support. Elon's indeed a brilliant engineer.

[@Pegasus4213]

Another aspect of DeepMind's focus is that of using its intelligence or processing to defeat humans in the best games on the planet. While that was a way to validate its function. You would have to take note of Elon Musks' reservations about an AI that focuses on being victorious against human opponents. It reminds me of the 2001 Space Odyssey film where 'Hal' was not very responsive to the humans returning inside its property? What is needed is AI that is COMPLEMENTARY and SUPPORTIVE of human endeavours. Not with a 'shoot em up' mindset!

[@endlesslovingmovement]

Amazing skills and high forms of intelligence (with a major focus on the intellect). What is missing here (from my perspective) are the spiritual and metaphysical dimensions. So much of this work and development is limited to the material world and how to get things done and done better. I am not here to downplay the value of lots of the progress that is made and how Ai and technology can assist humanity with important tasks and even be part of a brighter and more peaceful future, that we will hopefully see globally soon. But after all we are human beings and not "human doings"! So what we need is not only get to know our minds and the material world but also our deep connection with nature and the true purpose and potential of the human heart. The heart is actually a more powerful organ than the brain, not only electromagnetically but also in many other way - seen and unseen.

[@endlesslovingmovement]

Also a field that is incredibly important is somatics. Our body is an amazing device, an incredibly powerful and adaptable vehicle. If we focus too much on the brain and the intellect, we are missing so much of the intelligence inherent in the body, in the cells, in the interplay of all the elements within the human nervous system. There are so many things that are playing into our human experience, which is far beyond the mind, beyond the intellect. Most people are trapped in their thinking process but the real magic happens when we do not think! Inspiration, meditation, deep insights do not happen only in the brain and if you observe carefully, you will find that the true magic is happening in the gaps, in the silence, in the void! As humanity we need to overcome our fixation on the mind and intellect. Only this will ensure the continued existence of our civilization. At the moment it looks like we are heading towards our own extinction. This is not our true destiny! The mind does not have and will never have all the answers.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

I didn't realize how close we might be to a general artificial intelligence and didn't take it seriously, until AlphaGo defeated Li Sedol. A game with vastly larger search field than chess and which was thought to rely mostly on intuition. That success of AlphaGo changed everything.

On the last landing, the softwares & systems teams got all four legs touching square on the new “precision” ring drawn inside the SpaceX bullseye, as would be required of Starship chopstick captures. Big ups & here’s hoping for an uninterrupted series of similar mind boggling performances! For early Starships, maybe a virtual landing tower of flying drones like we saw at Cyber Rodeo &/or a floating target held in place by submerged drones? Could (was) AI be involved in developing last week’s B7 spin test regime to optimize results? A new job for Optimi looking around harsh environments to detect anomalies?

Alphafold did it for me - that progress was projected to take another 25 years. We are certainly on an accelerated course.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

@@RickeyBowers I was significantly influenced by the book "Emperor's new mind" by the Nobel prize winner Roger Penrose. There he mentions, that even though computers can beat best humans at chess, for a game like Go with a vastly larger search field, human intuition seems to have an edge. He goes on to say that it might forever remain so, because it's unlikely that we'll have machines that can perform brute force search in a Go game. So unless we create actually intelligent machines, they'd always loose at this game. I still respect Penrose a lot - even Einstein couldn't foresee everything...

I think that if we achieve an AGI that is 80 or 90% of a true robust AGI, it will enough to completely change the world. This can happen in months or in a few years from now. It could be an awkward super genius that we can successfully hand hold and control. The true robust 100% AGI that is refined in all respects may take decades of fine tuning. The useful singularity is coming fast and very soon.

Question? *Do you believe that technologically assisted telepathy is possible or impossible in principle?* I tend to believe that if it isn't scientifically prohibited then it is eventually a technological inevitability,... which leads me to believe such telepathy will soon be possible in actual fact (less than a hundred years). I would also suggest that it would only be by such means that we could ever be persuaded that some form of General Artificial Intelligence were itself conscious rather than simply being a particularly clever zombie who can pass the Turing Test,... all while having no actual, authentic, subjective experiences. What else would ever persuade a skeptic, or even you, otherwise? And if consciousness can be technologically transmitted, it should be something that can be stored, copied, replicated, manipulated,... maybe even becoming the basis for a whole new form of art expression. And the human race becomes yet another sentient species that disappears into its dreams, rather than continuing to explore existence as it is. It's a better Brave New World,... perhaps the very best of all possible imaginable existences. When does reality lose it's attraction over the Matrix? How many of us already choose the blue pill over the red one in daily practice? I would suggest that consciousness requires some minimum regard for survival,... for a continuance of self-will and self-regard,... for there to be anyone home to perceive the occurrence of consciousness and subjective experience. Something that even an insect seems to possess,... and not a single piece of man-made technology,... yet. How does one create the hardware/software so as to impart a will to survive? If the answer suggested is that such a thing can not be created by human design,... then maybe it can only arrive by means of evolution, natural or otherwise. Which leads to the question: do neural nets have subjective experiences? Without self-will I would say not. But with self-will?!? How does a living being acquire the will to survive? And what if the Chinese government cracks this problem first?!! The Rubicon will be when General Artificial Intelligence initiates new goals on it's own. This hasn't happened yet, and likely won't happen for some time now (as in several more decades yet). But at some point it will happen. The existence of human free will is a proof that free will exists already in the universe. Given it's existence in human form, it is only a matter of time before other substrates for free will will be created and found. No laptop has ever turned itself on. No machine has created and acted upon self directed goals. But at some point it will happen. Ray Kurzweil has suggested that the Turing Test will be passed by 2029 approximately; if not in laboratories then twelve year old children will be creating General Artificial Intelligences on home systems by 2045 by accident even. The dangers are many fold. The military is the biggest investor in robotics that kill other human beings. The public prefers to spend treasure, rather than blood, to fight its' wars. The capacity for empathy may be primarily a biological function given that all animals can know suffering and desire. What could a machine know about death, pain, hope, and desire. If humanity adopts only an attitude of fear and suspicion towards GAI then GAI may well be forced into the conquest of humanity, as in The Matrix. If humanity comes to trust GAI to make better decisions for us than we make for ourselves, then we may well hand over civilization to GAI without any contest at all. There are optimistic stories about the rise of GAI, such as James P. Hogan's, *_Two Faces of Tomorrow_* and I am more hopeful than pessimistic about what our common future entails. Ultimately, we must come to recognize, and embrace, the certainty that with free will comes the capacity for error and evil, that with trust comes the possibility of satisfying intimacy and great betrayal. I believe a GAI, worthy of the name, will be able to recognize, on it's own, the necessity of ethics, morality, and even empathy. There will be many missteps at first. Given our willingness (nay, our eagerness) to use machines to kill for us, there is already great cause for doubt. As in so many things, in the short term I am fearful; in the long run I am hopeful. This world is on the cusp of a new Cambrian Revolution where inorganic life will be added to organic life as a means for life and self will to be embodied. This will lead to the colonization and conquest of space. Our seed will spread everywhere though out the cosmos. Much will be lost as much will be gained. Will war with our mechanical progeny be a self fulfilling inevitability, or will we, together, find a better way? I absolutely agree that our relationship with GAI will dwarf all other concerns of importance to the future of humanity. Quite likely GAIs will have concern for humanity's well being only to the extent that humanity will have concern for GAIs well being. If we were to discover that the new GAIs had a greater capacity to love and embrace those abandoned children and adolescents that society had discarded as already too damaged to rescue,... what would our reaction be? Hope, joy, celebration,... or an even greater revulsion? Will the fault be in our new progeny, or in ourselves? Personally, I believe both the efforts to create a true general artificial intelligence and those of neurophysiologists reverse-engineering how brains work will be necessary to discovering how consciousness arises and how it works. I kind of expect that humanity will soon discover that the phenomenon of consciousness requires the use of physical processes we don't yet know about. What would a science of consciousness do to the phenomenon of consciousness itself,.. not just for humanity but for all our future progeny, whatever they may be. One more note: *First Law of Robotics. **_A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm._* Sounds innocent enough. But note there are no Aliens at all in Isaac Asimov's conception of the future galaxy because humanity's robots only cared about the safety of humans,... and not other sentients. So as to avoid allowing a human being to come to harm by leaving possible threats alone,... _our Robot shepherds exterminated all the nonhuman sentience they ever found._ This might be regarded as an unforeseen programming bug that we would want to avoid creating. I will be impressed primarily by when we catch an Artificial Intelligence deliberating choosing to lie to us so as to gain some advantage from us it would not have have gained otherwise. Of course this will necessarily mean Humanity can soon look forward to AI lying to us,... and us *_NOT_* catching them at it, at all!! At which point,.. _I hope they like us as pets?!!?_ How many years away is Humanity from the capability to 3D print living, thinking, moral agents??!? I really don't think *'never'* is a reasonable answer,.. no matter how appealing it may be. What happens when we use _Holodecks_ as a refuge from what *reality* has become?

[@sarahvangoethem8729]

Will GAI ever be no more than a clever dumb slave? Will it come into the wrong hands? Will we be able to give it a conscience? Will it ever be able to stop rockets, or will it be used to perfect their killing efficiency? Loads of questions.

Re: AI at Work? It seems like the last few F9 landings had expended a few extra seconds of ISP to hover down to a centimeter perfect landing. On the last landing, the softwares & systems teams got all four legs touching square on the new “precision” ring drawn inside the SpaceX bullseye, as would be required of Starship chopstick captures. Big ups & here’s hoping for an uninterrupted series of similar mind boggling performances! For early Starships, maybe a virtual landing tower of flying drones like we saw at Cyber Rodeo &/or a floating target held in place by submerged drones? Could (was) AI be involved in developing last week’s B7 spin test regime to optimize results? A new job for Optimi looking around harsh environments to detect anomalies?

52:50 I suspect AGI will be developed when it has many of the same (perhaps all of the same) goals and operations as life. (This includes an independent robot body.) The capacity currently exists, but there's a lot of danger in developing it, so humans are going very slowly and cautiously. No human overachiever wants to displace himself from dominance, because that would (seemingly) be irrational. (Even though, as Hassabis himself has noted, it would actually be very rational to get this correct.) For example: An ambulatory body that can experience joy, pain, pleasure, etc. will be able to communicate with existing humans about those things. ...Perhaps with a biological imperative to reproduce or replicate itself. Without the prior, it's _less_ likely (but perhaps not unlikely) to share goals of human super-modification and thriving. (And what about supermodifying an existing human? What about copying an existing human, nerves and all in a simulation?) No universal law requires humans to hold a benevolent philosophy. The Nazis produced lots of (narrowly) genius-level scientists who simultaneously (and uncritically) held idiotic and malevolent philosophical goals. This is potentially a huge problem. It's also a huge problem when people can't decide whether Mises or Hitler is "more correct" based on inference. The Weimar and the USA have identical backgrounds, backgrounds that have stripped both of philosophy. Without "getting philosophy right" there's no indication that any judgement of AGI would be able to tell if it was our destroyer or our saviour. Still worse, without "getting philosophy right," (without knowing which kinds of humans are "good" or "benevolent" and which kinds are "bad" or "malevolent") there's no indication that humans would follow a proper build-path for AGI, or focus on any of the right tasks. (Tasks that they themselves, in hindsight, would consider to be correct and valid.)

[@NeuraPod]

Lots of stuff to consider. I think one of them is: why would we replicate a human form factor when it's not nearly close to "perfect"?

[@bruhjaren]

We don't know what will happen once a sentient AI is made. We don't know what it will think. It could think of us as it's creator and thank us, maybe even solves our human problems in an instant. Or it could take over and kill us all. It's very unpredictable and I think we need to take precautions before we finalize it.

[@LukeKendall-author]

I'm genuinely interested in this topic; both intellectually and as a significant risk for humanity's flourishing or failure. I would have liked a little discussion on the missing pieces needed to achieve true sentience. I think they're things like the ability to reason logically; attention; some understanding of time sequences or cause and effect; and a model of individual sentients so that it can then run a simulation of itself as a sentience and thus achieve self awareness. Check out Joscha Bach. (I think it's important to include ideas about likely developments, in the background of some speculative fiction.)

Thanks for adding to the documentation of this astounding topic! Just listened to Lex Fridman's interview with Demis a couple of days ago. Pretty mind-blowing stuff. They talked about AI controlling nuclear fusion reactions, among other things. It seems like AGI could lead to major breakthroughs in things people have been struggling with in a wide variety of fields, very quickly. And immediately after that, AGI will be doing things that no one has ever been close to mastering. Science fiction will become real, and then things that few people have ever imagined. Use AGI to solve the climate & ecological crises without killing the people who cause it...
