I could be wrong. I've been wrong before.
There is so many possibilities. We had catastrophic events which prevented development of advanced microchips. That's a hopeful future. We could be in one of those personal universes, and the one I'm in is beautiful. It's all about me, and I like it a lot.
Yes. Maybe multiple ones, hey, why not? You can shop around. It's possible that somebody comes up with alternative model for building AI, which is not based on neural networks, which are hard to scrutinize, and that alternative is somehow, I don't see how, but somehow avoiding all the problems I speak about in general terms, not applying them to specific architectures.
aliens come and give us friendly superintelligence. There is so many options.
So that would probably speak more about how much smarter that system is compared to us. So maybe it's hard to be a million times smarter, but it's still okay to be five times smarter. So that is totally possible. That I have no objections to.
Just the problems we face in this world, each problem is like an IQ test. You need certain intelligence to solve it. So we just don't have more complex problems outside of mathematics for it to be showing off. Like you can have IQ of 500 if you're playing tic-tac-toe, it doesn't show, it doesn't matter.
Possible.
It still could be a lot smarter than us. And to dominate long term, you just need some advantage. You have to be the smartest. You don't have to be a million times smarter.
It'd be impressive. What is it, IQ of 1,000? I mean, I know those units don't mean anything at that scale, but still, as a comparison, the smartest human is like 200.
We are more productive as a group. I don't think we are more capable of solving individual problems. Like if all of humanity plays chess together, we are not like a million times better than world champion.
But I feel like it's more of a quantity superintelligence than quality superintelligence.
It's a simulation. We're being tested. The test is, will you be dumb enough to create superintelligence and release it?
Yeah, you're unsafe. Prove yourself to be a safe agent who doesn't do that and you get to go to the next game.
I don't know. I haven't hacked the simulation yet.
I'm working as fast as I can.
Quantum physics, yeah.
Thank you so much for inviting me. It was amazing. And my dream is to be proven wrong. If everyone just, you know, picks up a paper or book and shows how I messed it up, that would be optimal.
