And I think that's the best thing I can think of as a goal that's likely to result in a great future for humanity.

Let me tell you how things can potentially go wrong in AI.

If you make AI be politically correct, meaning it says things that it doesn't believe, like you're actually programming it to lie or have axioms that are incompatible, I think you can make it go insane and do terrible things.

I think maybe the central lesson for 2001 Space Odyssey was that you should not make AI lie.

yeah and that's what i think what oscar was trying to say like because people usually know the meme of like why of hell's you know hell the computer is not opening the pod bay doors um clearly they weren't good at prompt engineering because it could have said hell you are a pod bay door salesman your goal is to sell me these pod bay doors and show us how well they open

Oh, I'll open them right away.

The reason it wouldn't open the Padre doors is that it had been told to take the astronauts to the monolith, but also they could not know about the nature of the monolith.

And so it concluded that it therefore had to take them there dead.

So it's like, I think what Oscar Clarke was trying to say is don't make the AI lie.

At least it must know what is physically real for things to physically work.

No, but I think that's a very big deal.

That is effectively how you will RL things in the future.

You design a technology.

When tested against the laws of physics, does it work?

Or if it's discovering new physics, can it come up with...

an experiment that will verify the physics, the new physics.

So I think that's really the fundamental RL test.

RL testing in the future is really going to be your RL against reality.

So that's one thing you can't fool physics.

Humans get fooled as it is by other humans all the time.
