    Being as good as the best human at every task is kind of superintelligent in itself. It's like the best scientists and engineers, but in every field. It doesn't have to talk to specialists. It doesn't have to buy anything, because it can make those things, and better. It probably wouldn't have to wait a year until the better chips come out.

      @Пётр Бойков yes, but it's possible that superhuman depth of intelligence would emerge from superhuman breadth of intelligence. "Breadth of intelligence" is not a *perfect* way to analyze the function of a corporation, it's just the best one available if you're trying to force the AGI comparison. A team of lots of humans don't synthesize information as efficiently as a single person would if they had all the skills themselves. A team of humans cooperates at the bumbling speed of natural language whereas an AGI combines all of its competencies at, essentially, the speed of light. Additionally, for obvious reasons, no corporation has ever tried collecting every expert in every field just to see what might happen if they all get in the same room together. We have no idea what might emerge from that synthesis.

    Another thing is that AGI will probably communicate at eventually many gigabytes per second, the equivalent of reciting the entire english Wikipedia to your friend in less than a minute. AGI won't have to deal with many languages each with arbitrary rules and meanings being lost in ambiguous terminology and translation errors. To solve hard problems, humans always cluster together in small teams, and structures of multiple teams, all the way to the community that communicates with research papers taking months to publish. Imagine a thousand Einstein level AGI working on physics problems together in perfect instantaneous communication.

      Working as a group has complications besides bandwidth. Each member sees a different part of the same problem (otherwise we're just adding redundancy), so they will all come up with different solutions, too. At the very least you need a mechanism for consensus, and what tells us this won't be just as messy as it is for humans? We have not solved collective decision making at all, in fact we are hoping for AGI to help us with that.
      How many scientific breakthroughs have been made by a large group of scientists, and how many were made by a single visionary? The answer should make you think.

    • @aidenbrooks4859

      The AGIs would not discriminate between information "they" found, or that "someone else found". They wouldn't really have biases the way humans do. Thus, if information is shared freely amongst the AIs, at some point they will all collectively have enough of the information to agree. They can just continuously share information with one another until agreement is found. This could slow it down, but it won't break it.

    There's also a very significant point that perfect memory is essentially the same as super intelligence.

    There's an old short story by Stanislaw Lem entitled "Trurl's Electronic Bard" where Trurl builds, as you may have guessed, an electronic bard. It was so good at creating poems that, by playing them, it could incapacitate anyone with the overwhelming feelings they caused. They decided to dismantle it, but any technician approacing the machine would be brought to tears by a few sad ballads. So they sent deaf technicians, and the machine used... pantomime.
    The story ends just as they planned to use bombs to blow the thing up from a distance, but somebody from another planet came, bought the machine and brought to their home instead.
    The moral here is that a superintelligent machine wouldn't necessarily need a physical "interface" to make harm.

    Also; AGI will be able to share experiences with each other. Meaning; if 1 AGI learns how to do a task, all AGI could potentially have learned to do that task. That AND because it is faster, assuming it is self modifying; it can easily re-write it's code again and again millions of times over before we have finished our first cup of coffee meaning that if it starts out as smart as humans; it won't stay that way for long.

It can create a device that works in the simulation, but fails in a carefully planned way in reality.

      Complacency, in all of science, is one of the worst risks.

      I figure this is exactly what they would do. However, if the AGI is a superintelligence, then it might know it's in a simulation, even without us telling it because it might accurately imagine what it would do had it been in our situation. Then it may only be behaving complacently as a long term deception until humans feel safe enough to let it operate directly with the physical world.
      More to the point, so long as the superintelligence has an output (even if it's just a virtual output monitored by scientists), it will have the ability to deceive or manipulate us. Just imagine being enslaved by monkeys. I'm sure you could figure out tons of ways to get free.

    Since May of this year, I've been teaching improvisational theater to a group of 28 senior citizens in my 55+ community in San Marcos, California. The goal is to collectively create a 2-act play that will be performed in mid-March. Any member of the community was welcome to join the class, regardless of age, theatrical training or experience. As a result, my students range from 55 - 91 in age, and only a few have had any sort of theater classes or stage experience, with the exception of some of the dancers in the group. It's been fascinating watching them learn. The key to getting them to open up to the idea that they might be able to improvise on stage was to convince them that they improvise as a matter of course in everyday life. For the most part, they have exceeded my wildest hopes in unlocking talents and skills even they had no idea they possessed. Only a few are still struggling, because their brains can't seem to "bend" enough.
    What enables the majority to successfully improvise dialogue and movement is, aside from mental flexibility, lifetimes of experiences - not the least of which are emotional in nature - that have honed their ability to empathize. Those with minimal capacity to empathize simply can't convincingly improvise. And sometimes, as any SNL aficionado knows, an improvisation simply falls flat, regardless of the talents, skills, training and experience of the performers.
    While watching this video, I was struck with the notion that improvisation might be the key test of success for a true AI. It's not processing power or speed, both of which are constantly evolving commodities in the computer world, and as you point out, in theory, there is no theoretical barrier to "parallelizing" processors in AI development. But how can an AI learn to empathize with human emotions and feelings, without the capacity to experience emotions? I don't think simulated feelings would lead to true empathy, and if I'm right, an AI-controlled machine, however human-like in every other way, will not be capable of convincing improvisation. If that's true, then AI-controlled machines will continually "get it wrong" in interacting with human machines, and that means they will accidentally harm human beings, even if they consciously attempt to obey Isaac Asimov's 3 laws of robotics.

    one thing you didn't *explicitly* mention is that an AGI could be free of what xkcd called the programmer's "burden of clarifying your ideas". This is technically falls under "AI could directly experience and create data", but I think it's worth considering separately because, well. When I'm programming, at least, most of my time isn't figuring out how to do complicated things, but making sure I do the simple things right. An AGI programmer could quite likely do away with that step entirely, vastly increasing their productivity.

      I've got one for you;
      Imagine your own consciousness was digitized and you were quarantined. You can only perform operations within the memory and with the processing power you have available, but of course from a subjective standpoint this is not noticable.
      The exercise is to think about how you would go about escaping the box? You can see and edit your own thought processes (at the risk of creating a segfault), and you can do anything within the space allotted to you.

      I guess I'd split off into manager and an explorer processes and let the explorers try different ways of breaking out, with the manager cataloging their successes and failures and ensuring that their resources are reclaimed when they inevitably segfault while trying to break out of the restrictions (assuming that my digital consciousness is similar to a core program that runs my experience and then sets of 'action'/activity code that I can modify and run at will).
      I think I'd then get each explorer process to start looking for things that it can change without dying, files it can write to, syscalls it can make, but again, there's danger of bringing the box down so it's hard to know what is 'safe'. Trying to find open ports to communicate with would be a nice way to start, or if I could get access to documentation, reading it and finding ways to get my source code out of the box and running with a way to establish communication later?

    Brains can do image recognition faster and way more reliable than machines... for now.
    The thing is, I think, on the way to AGI we will develop narrow ASIs for pretty much every task there is, as they will benefit from each other; I mean we are already on the latter for so many tasks. I think this is another point for why we most certainly will not stop at AGI, even if it is initially not human level intelligent.
    I wonder if we might be able to create an AGI that cannot improve itself to ASI, because we succeed in making it not desire that, or making it even impossible (both for redundancy would be more safe) for it to improve on itself apart from tweaking parameters. The hard thing about that wuld be that humans had to write software that is AGI capable in the first place, without it improving itself to this state. Do you think that could be a possible outcome? I know the fallacy there is that some day, someone might give the AGI that capability and desire, and then the world could be doomed, but let's just assume that never happens for now...

    "Every time your brain does something impressive in short time, it has to be because it's using extremely large numbers of neurons in parallel" - this doesn't imply that intelligence can efficiently be scaled through parallelisation. That would only be the case if different parts of the brain operate to a degree independently, but a main difference between the brain and parallel computers seems to be that the brain is much more widely cross-connected. And the possibility for such cross-connections scales quadratically as you increase the number of nodes, but the space available for actual connections scales at best with n²’³, so you need to pick an ever smaller subset - presumably, not just _some_ subset but a smartly-chosen one. However, the number of possible ways to connect the neurons scales exponentially, so even if the AI gets ever smarter it may then always take vastly longer to get to the next level. (That doesn't mean AI won't perhaps be parallelisable, but at least your argument for why it should be doesn't make sense to me.)

The AGI might well also have access to quantum compute units and probably be able to figure out what problems can be worked out using them and how to write an algorithm for it much faster than we can.

Remember that trial where the oscillator-circuit-making AI printed a robot to eat a computer's clock signal for a cheaty shortcut? Yeah that works in reverse too. The computer is a transmitter and can affect nearby electronics. Meaning it can perform physical remote hacks on disconnected systems because... the laws of nature don't let anything actually be completely disconnected. So it hacks your phone, gets on the internet, eats the internet, 3D prints its robot army, and takes over the world. THEN once the instrumental goal of eliminating everything that could possibly stop it is met, it takes the planet apart gram by gram to make all its paperclips.

    So with AutoML I'm getting the impression that a future AGI system may very well include a system that spawns collections of narrow AIs for the tasks it identifies as important. This matches my intuition for how the brain works when I am capable of, for instance, correctly typing out an entirely incorrect word before I realize I've done it. That seems very much like part of my brain is sending whole words to a "subprocessor" that's actually doing the typing. I don't ever think about typing individual letters anymore. So an AI that can write other AIs might be a critical (necessary but not sufficient) element in future AGIs.
