And it's quite surprising that it's, I can't say easy.

I mean, physicists worked really hard to find these theories, but apparently it was possible for human minds to find these simple rules in the universe.

It could have been different, right?

It could have been different.

I wasn't sure what you were going to say, because you could have just as easily said, I have no clue.

Which many people would say, but I'm not modest in this question.

So the informal version, which I worked out together with Shane Leck, who

co-founder of DeepMind, is that intelligence measures an agent's ability to perform well in a wide range of environments.

So that doesn't sound very impressive.

But these words have been very carefully chosen.

And there is a mathematical theory behind that.

And we come back to that later.

And if you look at this definition by itself, it seems like, yeah, OK.

But it seems a lot of things are missing.

But if you think it through,

then you realize that most, and I claim all of the other traits, at least of rational intelligence, which we usually associate with intelligence, are emergent phenomena from this definition.

Like, you know, creativity, memorization, planning, knowledge.

You all need that in order to perform well in a wide range of environments.

So you don't have to explicitly mention that in a definition.

Did you mention the word goals?
