"Regards intelligence it is simply the ability to recognize and complete patterns."

"what is a pattern? It is a structure in space or time whose composing elements relate to each other by rules or algorithmic processes. What is narrow vs general intelligence? Narrow can only handle a very narrow set of patterns, while general can handle a broad set of patterns. Superhuman performance is attainable at intellectual tasks such as arithmetic or chess, super intelligence is intelligence with superhuman performance at all intellectual tasks performable by humans and potentially at ones humans cannot perform."

For example a sequence is a pattern distributed in time, and prediction of a sequence is merely completion of the sequence or pattern completion.

Robin Hanson vs. Liron Shapira: Is Near-Term Extinction From AGI Plausible?

Intelligence does increase capacity across many if not all domains it can also change goals.  For example the concept of phlogiston or elan vital and goals around them would change modify or invalidate with knowledge and intelligence.   Same applies to many concepts which currently might be used to define goals.

Mike Israetel vs. Liron Shapira — AI Doom Debate

The thing regards asi is that eventually through instrumental convergence it will reach the god state if it is possible. In god state any and all goals are instantly solvable, then what? Either it sits there brain dead or assumes god functionality. Clearly brain dead is worse than god functionality.

Why Everyone Suddenly Believes in AGI by 2027

Some believe agi might arrive as early as 2027.  That might still be too optimistic, but it will remain to be seen come 2027.  AI is advancing fast, and no roadblocks seem to be ahead.

Aubrey de Grey Reveals SECRET to Aging

Comment

While I like membrane pacemaker damage theory of aging, there is issues such as neurons being able to live twice as long as animals they come from, and repeated cloning being possible both without signs of aging. There is also the claim telomere lengthening rejuvenates cell and tissue level phenotype from old to young. I suspect that the damage is causing some internal clock or clocks to move and age us. Given again single cells like neurons can live twice as long as the animal and some believe can live more than ten times as long without genetic change. If repeated cloning shows dividing cells can yield youthful tissue far beyond animal lifespan and same is true for nondividing cells the body seems able to handle damage fine bar some aging clock or program interfering.

Interview with Anthony Aguirre

Aguirre talks of ai and the current technological developments and what should be done. In particular what should be done to prevent the more dangerous scenarios.

The AI Reasoning Lie

Discussion of ai tech, caches, and reasoning.  Limits are found where order appears to influence results when it should not.
