So intelligence is a collection of skills and an ability to acquire new skills efficiently, right? And the collection of skills that a particular intelligent entity possess or is capable of learning quickly is different from the collection of skills of another one.

And because it's a multidimensional thing, the set of skills is a high dimensional space, you can't measure, you cannot compare two things as to whether one is more intelligent than the other. It's multidimensional.

Okay, so AI doomers imagine all kinds of catastrophe scenarios of how AI could escape or control and basically kill us all. And that relies on a whole bunch of assumptions that are mostly false. So the first assumption is that the emergence of superintelligence is going to be an event. That at some point we're going to figure out the secret and we'll turn on a machine that is superintelligent.

And because we've never done it before, it's going to take over the world and kill us all. That is false. It's not going to be an event. We're going to have systems that are like... as smart as a cat, have all the characteristics of human-level intelligence, but their level of intelligence would be like a cat or a parrot, maybe, or something. And then we're going to work our way up

to kind of make those things more intelligent. And as we make them more intelligent, we're also going to put some guardrails in them and learn how to kind of put some guardrails so they behave properly. And we're not going to do this with just one. It's not going to be one effort. It's going to be lots of different people doing this.

And some of them are going to succeed at making intelligent systems that are controllable and safe and have the right guardrails. And if some other goes rogue, then we can use the good ones to go against the rogue ones. So it's going to be my smart AI police against your rogue AI. So it's not going to be like we're going to be exposed to a single rogue AI that's going to kill us all.

That's just not happening. Now, there is another fallacy, which is the fact that because the system is intelligent, it necessarily wants to take over.
