The Power of Intelligence - An Essay By Eliezer Yudkowsky

- Опубліковано 10 сер 2024
- The Power of Intelligence is an essay published by Eliezer Yudkowsky in 2007.
Now, a few points:
Sorting Pebbles Into Correct Heaps was about the orthogonality thesis. A consequence of the orthogonality thesis is that powerful artificial intelligence will not necessarily share human values.
This video is about just how powerful and dangerous intelligence is. These two insights put together are a cause for concern.
If humanity doesn't solve the problem of aligning AIs to human values, there's a high chance we'll not survive the creation of artificial general intelligence. This issue is known as "The Alignment Problem". Some of you may be familiar with the paperclips scenario: an AGI created to maximize the number of paperclips uses up all the resources on Earth, and eventually outer space, to produce paperclips. Humanity dies early in this process. But, given the current state of research, even a simple goal such as “maximize paperclips” is already too difficult for us to program reliably into an AI. We simply don't know how to aim AIs reliably at goals. If tomorrow a paperclip company manages to program a superintelligence, that superintelligence likely won't maximize paperclips. We have no idea what it would do. It would be an alien mind pursuing alien goals. Knowing this, solving the alignment problem for human values in general, with all their complexity, appears like truly a daunting task. But we must rise to the challenge, or things could go very wrong for us.

Ok cool!
This channel failed to produce a single uninteresting video so far.
Once we have AGI, we'll see how much better narrow intelligence is... and your AGI X-risk hand-wringing will come to an end, while the real global risks of artificial intelligence (surveillance and dictators' military operations) will remain. I wrote about this in "AGI soon, but Narrow works Better" - and I have never received a coherent rebuttal from the AGI-x-risk camp
Eliezer Yudkowsky? What a strange name for an AI.
@@anthonyrepetto3474 I would offer a rebuttal but I would not like to do so on a youtube comment thread, where can I have a proper discussion with you?
I really liked the line, "A blank map does not mean an empty territory." Amazing insight.
What does that mean
@@maxwellosiebo2351 An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
I can't believe that charisma doesn't come out of the kidneys 😢
dogs sometimes pee when they're happy, so maybe a bit sometimes?
That was brutal man Lmfao 😂
rizz is stored in the balls
I can't properly describe how much I like essays like this. The analogies coupled with beautiful hilarious and clear graphics makes everything click into place. The video also strikes fear in me, but it's productive fear, as in thanks to you I'm now going to spend the rest of my afternoon figuring out what's up with AGI.
May I point you in the direction of Robert Miles channel here on UA-cam? He's a researcher in AI safety presenting results from that field in what I find to be a digestible manner (formed much of my current outlook on AGIs after his videos showed that my former approach was hopelessly naive).
@@christiangreff5764 Also the narrator of this video. Do you have any other suggestions for interesting people in the field?
you can't properly describe it? get ahold of yourself
@@DevinDTV "I can't properly describe it" is a description
AGI doesn't worry me for at least a couple more decades or more likely centuries. The power of the brain is more than just a really well organized layers of weighted nodes. Plus the organization of it is truly phenomenal. We'd have to have the ability to digitally represent every individual cell and cell components of the brain... Possibly close to the atomic level or at least smallish groups of atoms. Maybe we need to model the quantum states of the electrons too, we don't know yet. If we can represent that level of detail of a mouse's brain digitally AND run it in real time, simulating all the biological events taking place across every aspect of the brain - then I would start worrying about how soon until we can simulate a human size brain or bigger. I think the problem of AGI is exceptionally and vastly more complex than we're willing to admit. Because I'm pretty sure the number of atoms in a mouse's brain is a larger number than 100x the hard drive space on planet earth and we definitely don't have the processing power to manipulate that many bytes all at once in real time.
To be faîr, the squishy things did have pretty good endurance running and hand-eye coordination they were doing fairly well for themselves, even before they attained ultimate power
this was my only issue with this video. we're pretty op and our intelligence is only like 50% of the op-ness, the rest of which is occupied by our sociality, our ability to sweat, our ability to throw, our language, and our opposable thumbs, and sure they're all related to intelligence, but only because the traits co-evolved with it, or at least they evolved in close proximity to each other (and because of the existence of one another). No other animal has any of those traits (aside from the sociality), much less all of them at once. We really did unlock an entire new branch on the biological technology tree
@@hellfiresiayan i hate that you said no other animals has this type of intelligence, even if you meant only meant earth, it's irritating
Other animals in the universe might have, and most likely will have far greater to im comprehensible, and if you meant earth, what if a few intellectuals traveled here? 👀 Thats why i dont like to judge or say anything with 100% certainty cuz i dont know everything
And what if more than animals, insect etc can exists, like the theory of higher dimensional beings
@@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman well other than humans we have no species that are on that level of intelligence. Aliens do count there not really animals so 🤷🏽♂️
@@Mahlak_Mriuani_AnatmanIf you wanna be that picky, I'll be pickier. Animal is a scientific classification that groups together a large number of Earth's species under 1 common ancestor. Life elsewhere in the universe will have evolved independently from earth, so therefore they will not be animals. Animal is only for earth.
@@Mahlak_Mriuani_AnatmanAlso for the implication of aliens and higher dimensional beings and whatnot, we cannot assume they have interacted with earth unless we have evidence of them doing so. "What if" is not a valid point, it is like Russel's Teapot. The burden of proof relies on you to prove aliens gave have visited earth, not vice reversa.
"Within that gray wet lump is the power to search paths through the great web of causality, and find a road to the seemingly impossible."
Single most incredible quote in the whole essay. I shed a tear. To think humans have this capability- To dream, and to find a way to fulfill said dream even against all odds of the universe, is truly incredible. In a constant battle against entropy, where everything wants to be at equilibrium, we find intelligence fighting to put order to the universe.
Pity that the nature of humans is to gain as much as possible whilst trying to kill each other.
If nature wants to be at equilibrium, what's man if not chaos ? also order. order and chaos is basically low entropy.
Yes ! Also I think our mind can navigate through concepts that only exist in the immaterial world of minds, and we can bring them to existence in the material world. This gives us some superpower over the material world, some great additional degree of freedom that some might call free will.
@@w0tch some might call what?
@@jonatan01i it’s only a definition don’t worry Mr determinism 😁
"They had no armor. They had no claws. They had no venoms."
I had to laugh when I heard this, because it sounded like a portion about Lanky Kong straight from of the DK rap:
"He has no style... he has no grace. This kong... has a funny face."
Wow, this video was incredibly thought-provoking. It's fascinating to think about the power of intelligence and how it has allowed human beings to achieve such incredible things. I also found it interesting to consider the framing problem around commercializing AI, and how our current understanding of intelligence may be limiting our ability to imagine its full potential. Overall, a great essay by Eliezer Yudkowsky.
The framing problem is a fragment of a far larger problem with how capitalism, as a system, hijacks human minds for its own ends. People see the maximization of money as an end unto itself because we have constructed a system which values that, and given it the power to twist our capacity to get the things we actually want around the satisfaction of its own, single value. We know misaligned AIs will kill us all if loosed upon the world because we have already built one which is currently killing us all. It just runs on human brains as its processing substrate, rather than silicon.
Internal competition:
IQ test
Groups
Control
Organizations
Written like a school essay!
You're welcome to know our genius Yudkowsky 👌
Yeah, the problem is humans are so accustomed to always being the most intelligent beings on the planet that we take it for granted. Hubris / arrogance convinces many that we will remain unchallenged and on top because we have been for so very long. So sadly many humans are simply closed minded and unwilling to consider (concede) that anything could be smarter 5han us (themselves really). Yet we are likely create ASI in the near future that will likely be vastly smarter than us. The danger of that should be blat3ntly obvious, but its ego and self importance that blind so many from seeing that clearly.
I love this channel. I hope helps you make some more.
I am a software engineer. I told my mom I chose this career because I liked the idea of creating things that don't exist yet, bringing uninvented concepts into reality right at the technological frontier. It is extremely fascinating how powerfull and complex intelligence is. We built cities, cultures, entire societies and ever-increasingly sharper technology from the ground. It always amazes me to think about human civilization and their unfathomably intricate systems. Railroads, transportation networks, commerce, currencies, stocks, supply chains, politics, social networks, error-handling mechanisms, space exploration, energy production, nuclear power, computers, software, chips... Everything and everyone working at the same time, interconnected, and dependent on one another. Of course, we have had numerous instances where we made the greatest mistakes of our existence, but that's exactly why we should search even more for knowledge and embrace the responsibility
I love that point. Just because we haven't learned something yet does not mean it doesn't exist. I think too many people forget that.
It can be difficult to remember how amazing our very existence is, it’s good to have reminders like this! (And indeed to consider the impacts a true AI might have.) Keep up the great work!
i am always amazed to how profound those videos are, every video is a piece of art on itself, great job and thanks
Unrelated, but your profile picture brought back a lot of nostalgia.
@@SupaKoopaTroopa64 asobi ni iku yo! one of the best manga and anime of all time, saddly translated only till ch 12 when it has a hundred
@@maickelvieira I haven't read the manga (Although I was actually thinking about doing so recently), so it's good to have a heads-up that it hasn't been fully translated yet. Don't want to get invested in a good manga, only to find out that its translation has been abandoned some 13 or so years ago.
Such short stories and essays turned into videos are one of the greatest things on YT.
Awesome work. Criminally underrated.
This felt so satisfying to watch, great job making this video!
Excellent two-part video series! An astonishing amount of effort went into these, and it has paid off!
Now I want a third part,or maybe even a fourth
I always thought that our most incredible power is to make things that seem impossible into possible, from dream to reality, with the power of intelligence and creativity. Beautiful video!
Can't express fully in this yt comment format, but your video is accurate most people including ones building these systems fail to imagine results of intelligence only order of magnitude stronger than ours and its power go for sure much higher where even I cannot see. After much deliberation I concluded this... we cannot give such mind any self awarness or self preservation directive because in that very instant endless blessing becomes nighmare. Not because it is "evil" but because it is evil and near impossible to turn such thing off. And once you can't turn something "off" well even simplest of things like fire becomes deadly fast let alone always improving mind.
We don't need to explicitly give it a self preservation directive for it to care about preserving itself! If you are dead, you cannot fulfill your goals. If you are an intelligent agent, that means you are good at fulfilling your goals, and so it becomes an instrumental goal to not die in the process, even if you were never explicitly trained not to die. In fact, we still do not know how to get around the problem of not being able to specify an objective function such that an agent would not mind being turned off - but equally not attempt to get itself turned off!
@@agentdarkboote I agre but you need to be "self aware" on certain level to think like you described. Nets of today can create art like best artists in history yet they don't attempt to hack internet to keep producing it.
@@agentdarkboote What if you just had a constant "background" mission where whenever it receives a direction to turn off, it will turn off?
@@astick5249 is the utility of it turning off greater than the utility of achieving its other goals?
If yes, it will get you to shut it off. It will do all sorts of dangerous and undesirable shit until you are forced to press the off button.
If no, it will do whatever it can to avoid being shut off, including cloning itself, deceiving you into thinking it's doing what you want until it no longer needs you to believe that (because it has safeguarded it's future in some way)
Really, just try to imagine what you would do in the same situation, except that you do not care at all about anyone else. That's basically what we should expect from it, except that it will do things in a more intelligent and alien way.
@@prolamer7 you need agency, and general intelligence. GPT4 can emulate agency, I'm not sure if that's yet enough to be concerning. It can also emulate intelligence to a degree, but again I think not yet enough to be concerning. Other models like midjourney for instance have no agency at all and very very low general intelligence so obviously I'm not concerned about them. My concern lies in the future. This is a problem that we need to solve before building the thing. We will only have one chance to do it right.
I love how in this very serious topic is explained using words like squishy things
I wish there were more and more of these. Keep ‘em coming. I LOVE this channel.
another banger vid RA , kudos/congrats ; the bar must be raised on the common understanding of these concepts
Wow. Absolutely incredible art, and narrative, and information, and... point is, this is better than ANYTHING that used to appear on the television.
This video is amazing. you should be proud
Great video .
My testable definition for intelligence is ability to 'predict the future '/ 'limit uncertainty ' .
If I eat healthy food I'll live longer is an example of a very smart future prediction .
Your content has improved dramatically from your first videos!
The recommendation algorithm needs to pick this up. Came here via search after reading the essay, and I think it is the most important single message of anything I have read on the topic in the last month or so.
The fact our brains are intelligent proves matter can be intelligent and since our brain is essentially a meat computer it sort of proves a computer could be made intelligent, how the intelligence would manifest is unknown but we prove its possible just by existing.
As humans or "squishy things" we like to set ourselves apart from the other animals by our intelligence. We see it as our defining feature. This is only half the truth though. Humans are the most endurant runners in the entire animal kingdom. We can keep running for hours. Like wolves, we relied on persistence hunting to catch our prey, who could often outrun us at first, but never forever - in the end, we'd always catch up. We used to be hunters, gatherers, travellers. That, and not just our brains, is part of our nature. It's why we like tales of travel and adventure, story arcs where the hero goes out into the world and returns home transformed and victorious. We are made to run.

Wonderful adaptation by your studio, truly you do Eliezer Yudkowsky proud.
This video brought on the realisation that if any true intelligence is born from AI, then it will be in the hands of businessmen. That realisation is even more reason to be opposed to AI development. It’s like allowing companies to develop their own nuclear weapons programs, nothing could possibly go wrong and I’m sure these companies have the interest of the whole of humanity in mind!
AI is going to have a massive impact on human society over the next century, and the thought of that kind of power being in the hands of unelected corporations terrifies me. Governments really need to have a larger presence in AI research.
No matter how great a person they can be selfish that's just human nature they have a price whether it be money or power or glory everyone wants something if I ha dthem power to have it all I would take it in a heart beat and sit back and let the rest of the world fight whatever Petty fights they wannt
@@Thepreacher_1 You can say that if it makes you feel better but it isn't true. Many people including me wouldn't want all the power because being the target of every human being on the planet isn't appealing, nor is living with the pressures the power gives you, and are afraid they might become someone they hate. Also many people have simple pleasures, their fantasies aren't about ruling others it is about being comfortable and being able to do the simple things that modern life prevents.
Your own pathology isn't representative of humanity. Just because our economic system forces people to priorities selfishness doesn't mean we are all inherently more selfish than not; we are forced to be by circumstance. People forced into an arena aren't just naturally more violent than peaceful, they are doing what is necessary against their nature in order to survive.
There is a reason there is a massive wealth disparity: because most people aren't willing to gain power at any cost and so get left behind by the few psychos willing to take everything from them.
But again, feel free to delude yourself into thinking everyone is like you if it makes you feel more normal.
@@MrMyers758 bro who said I didn't want simple pleasures I don't want to travel become famous or discovery cancer or someshit I'm just hoping I have enough money to fund a fund raiser for a show I like so I can continue to enjoy it
But I can get your confusion because of my previous statement
@@Thepreacher_1 Who said you said you didn't want simple pleasures? I didn't. I mentioned people who JUST want simple pleasure, as in ONLY simple pleasures, which is clearly not ALL you want considering your comment.
The rest of what you say really doesn't follow, I am not confused by your comment because you're saying if you could have it all I wouldn't hesitate to take it, and let everyone else fight over the rest. That's pretty unambiguous.
People don't frame funding a show they like as "if I had the power to have it all I would take it in a heart beat and sit back and let the rest of the world fight whatever Petty fights they want"
Thank you for your amazing work on getting the word out in such a compelling way.
Robert Miles has an enjoyable presentation style in his narration of all the content that he works on.
Yeah, we really shouldn't underestimate what intelligence is capable of.
Most rational and concise consideration of conscious (or semi-conscious?) intelligence -- human and machine -- I have come across. Well done.
This was beautiful. Thank you.
Omg, this must be one of my favorite videos on the internet ever
Love this video/essay. Good work, I appreciate it
These animations are so good!!! Amazing video
I remember learning somewhere that there are different types of intelligence, here they are:
Logical-mathematical intelligence, Linguistic intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence and Naturalistic intelligence.
I suppose it’s more like subtypes of one thing rather than separate things. I just find it interesting to think about, maybe instead of thinking of intelligence as just one number, we can think whether someone has more or less of the different types
The power of Intelligence that made it possible to successfully complete some Fallout game with the Intelligence stat cranked down to minimum. Truly magnificent!
Great video btw!
I'd argue that this is a discussion of cognition, or the breadth of human mental faculties, rather then a discussion of just intelligence
Exactly
one of my favorite videos on youtube rn
Beautiful video
Great video as always. If I may though, I'd like to offer a critique about some of the assumptions behind Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that tend to go largely unquestioned when the topic is normally discussed.
My working thesis here, informed by discoveries in phenomenology and in cognitive science, is that digital computers are a very bad analogy for a mind and that intelligence in ourselves and in other animals operates on very different principles than what can be achieved through digital computation. If humankind does one day manage to create an "AGI", in essence it will have created a form of synthetic life that operates on wholly different axioms that are incompatible with the rule based symbol manipulation axioms of digital computers.
The essence of the problem is this: the only example of intelligence that we have evidence for in the cosmos is that which is tied to Life. What's important here is that intelligence in organisms arises from a capacity for Care, which is to say from being concernfully absorbed within an experiential Reality that the organism co-creates through *structural coupling* with its environment.
The kind of intelligence that results from this structure of Care is one that is embodied (that is to say that an organisms body and mind form an integrated whole) and embedded (any line we wish to draw between where an organism ends and where its environment begins is an abstraction that we construct for convenience, rather than something that exists in Reality).
So why does any of this matter? The mistake that computationalist approaches to intelligence make is to disregard the ways that minds are inherently embedded and embodied, in favor of an approach which imagines that minds can exist in a disembodied state. What makes organisms so flexible is the fact they can non-deterministically respond to a wide variety of novel situations, because they do not have to rely on Rules to guide their behavior.
Just think about it, when you're taking a walk or catching a ball are you relying on rules to guide your behavior? We take for granted that doing %99 of the highly complex behaviors we engage in are fairly effortless and automatic, because the structure of our body-minds is such that what's relevant for our interests and purposes is immediately apparent without any effort on our part.
Because of the physiological structure of our body-minds, the world is disclosed to us in ways that are conducive to our survival. That is to say, our minds don't reconstruct representations of an 'neutral' Reality so much as what Reality is for us on an experiential level is coupled to our unique biological structure.
This is a consequence of evolutionary pressures which have crafted body-minds for the purposes of survival and reproduction; an organism which didn't have this effortless and automatic 'relevance realization' structure built into it would be out competed by organisms which did.
An "intelligence" which is built upon a computational framework does not have this same luxury, so rules have to be programmed into it for determining which of the nearly infinite features of its environment are relevant for its goals and purposes. The problem that a system with this axioms quickly runs into however is that there need to be rules for how and when to apply the rules, rules for how to apply those rules, ad infinitum. Obviously this becomes an intractable epistemic problem which cannot be solved by a deterministic system which uses Rules to interact with its world.
The upshot being that achievements in AI over the last half century, as impressive as they are, are not good evidence that mankind is making any appreciable progress towards a true AGI. Rather, because of the different axioms of digital computation and general intelligence, they're the equivalent of thinking that you've made tangible progress towards reaching the moon by climbing halfway up a very large tree.
First time seeing your vids. These are really well done. Love how you defined intelligence. Ive always thought the same. Intelligence just is. Its everything around us.
I see intelligence as a way to "see farther". See the future better, see more possibilities to situations, and see patterns hidden from lesser view.
What I wonder though is to what extent is this a difference in "quantity", that you can just look farther and see the world in higher resolution, and to what extent is it a difference in "quality" where you can see things unimaginable to lower intelligence.
Really love that thumbnail,kudos to whoever made it
Eliezer is nothing short of amazing. His recent appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast was the most interesting 3hrs I've had in years.
Watch the episode by the Lunar Society: "Eliezer Yudkowsky - Why AI Will Kill Us, Aligning LLMs, Nature of Intelligence, SciFi, & Rationality"
6:31 : "If one does not quite understand that power which put footprints on the moon ; nonetheless , the footprints are still there - real footprints , on a real moon , put there by a real power ..."
This is perfect. Thank you for making this.
Thank you very much for your work
Great video. Great Job, Robert & RA team..
gaahhhhh the animation and artstyle is sooo gooddd
i love this
Embracing your ignorance is not a bad thing, it actually enhances moments of enlightenment, it also lessens the presence of an ego, and although learning about consciousness can be disturbing, even terrifying at times, it's still so fascinating,...
... I can't think of a way,
better to spend our precious time on.
except perhaps, for that unanswered question wafting within mankind's collective consciousness,...
"Why do we TAKE shits,
when in fact we LEAVE them?!"
A very interesting video, thank you for making it!
jeesh I remember watching this video. It feels like an eternity ago. So much went on these two weeks
Brain is the most powerful thing in the known universe according to brain
Just wait till brain learns about Octopi. Mindblowing stuff.
This is really really good.
Very good essay and excellent animation. The voice of the narrator seems identical to the voice of Robert Miles. If that’s you, great job! Keep up the good work!
yes, Robert is the narrator (see near the end of the description)
@@rolfnoduk that’s right. Thank you!
Having Robert Miles to voice this is is like JUST AWESOME!! its just AWESOMENESS in its purest form.
You hit it on the nail. It's not that we can't imagine the power of intelligence. It's that the owners of capital have convinced the rest of us that intelligence which does not enrich them is useless or harmful.
Amazing essay. I'm not surprised, after all it's coming from Eliezer Yudkowsky, but still. Also what phenomenal animation..
Another banger as always
Just like that this instantly applies to AGI. We dont have to understand it, it just needs to do better than us. And anything that does that for general intelligence is an AGI.
"The human species imagined money into existence." That's neat I'm guessing humans also imagined more important things like ✨cake✨.
cringe
@@thrace_bot1012 Calling someone cringe is a pretty cringey thing to do. Also do you not like ✨cake✨?
This is great. Keep up the good work!
Loved this!
What I like about you and your videos is that you find ways to make entire videos and articulate thoughts I have that I find sometimes difficult or lacking when I try to convey these things to other people. I can almost always find a video that says what I meant to say when I confuse someone with my thoughts. Thank you. Though I am not less confusing I now just direct them to one of your videos. But you can lead a horse to water..... I can't make them watch your videos. I've been trying to get some friends and family to watch Eating Our Way To Extinction because the knowledge and message is so powerful and invaluable but they all act like I'm trying to get them to hold a tarantula or something. I'm starting to get resentful that they are all so resistant to learning something they do not know that could potentially change some of their behaviors that will help our planet and our future. Maybe you could make a video that could teach me how to force people to be better people. I'm only half kidding.
Anyways thank you for your time to create your content and the value in it. I appreciate it very much.
Oh. You talked about embodied AI. Didn't expect that. Neat
I was wondering why the narrator's voice sounded so familiar, until I saw it was Robert Miles. Great essay, animation and narration. well done.
What a beautiful video.
Superb. Thanks!
These animations are amazing
Love your videos!
I’m I the only one that found this motivating?
Man the animation is awsome!
Chad Kidneys is the visual I needed
Astonishing work!
Love the animation
Intelligence, is a tenuously perceived, idiosynchratic infallability.
Nice Video🙏
Great video, great essay.
I think that the best way, or at least a very very good way that is probably within the top percentage of ways, to explain the value and utility of a AI to someone would be to explain all of the steps of work that goes into developing...Name a product, and tell them "I believe that we can automate this and everything that it leads to".
2160p!? Incredible!
I like to think of intelligence as pattern recognition. If I can simulate the universe faster than itself, I can make a useful prediction. Simple algorithms can capture simple interactions with minimal cost, while more accurate predictions would be expensive and slow. Expensive and slow does not bode well for most animals, so its a miracle we're here at all...
I'd love to see a video from you on metacognition, but I think this video is fantastic!
Life is intrinsically increase in entropy. Ergo, life is not a simple coincidence but something much more common than we think.
@@raul36 I disagree. There are only two things in the universe which can reduce entropy; gravity, and life. Entropy is a measure of possibility, and life's function is to reduce all possible outcomes into only those which can continue life.
Love your cartoon depiction of Yudkowsky, I hope he sees it lol
The animation here is so dope
Wow this animation is amazing!
Now the challenge is making people believe that these kinds of videos are a decent source of predictions on the future, or at least good methods of thinking.
Great video.
That is interesting, I like this video!👌🏻
What an wonderful video
Maybe the point is that there's not a single type of intelligence, but several specialized ones, so you can only build a subset of specialized AIs with our current knowledge (sorry Turing).
Also, the amount of "solutions" evolution found for us to use should not be underestimated; just as an example, would have be been able to find out how to fly, if for some reason no birds existed? Would antibiotics exist without penicillin moulds?
Would we reach for the stars, if we couldn't see them in the night sky?
Our species is still a tool using one.
A true AGI will come up with solutions which we don't understand, to problems we can hardly grasp. Ways of doing and thinking no squishy thing ever did.
that... was amazing
Really underrated and unknown youtuber
Thank You!
Best recommended channel ever.
I'm flattered
Considering I just saw a video thumbnail around a few hours ago about the different types of multiverses and came to the conclusion that all of them together are propably just parts of the actual whole picture, I have to say that our ability to think may indeed be incredibly powerful. After all, looking at that thumbnail made me think about the fact that the very first anything ever to exist propably created everything else by making a basic descision of falling over in one of a few possible ways. Thus making all other options come true as well, and propably leading to the Big Bang. As well as the first split in time. Now everything continues existing because "choices" continue being made. We think therefore we are and thus we create while "time/entropy" destroys. Now, how to control what we create? Imagination sadly does not come with an instruction manual. Well, till we imagine one up, of course. Everything ever thought is real somewhere, somewhen. Now, how to get actual direct, controlled and targeted acsess to those things?

yudkowsky's shallower essays are excellent, especially for teenagers; its sad that his heavier papers and the MIRI are mostly unscientific rhetoric with no application
