The problem with those definitions is that they kind of focus on the idea that intelligence is one-dimensional.

Okay, versus?

Versus the reality that we already see now is what people call jagged intelligence, meaning the AIs are much better than us on some things, like mastering 200 languages.

No one can do that.

Being able to pass the exams across the board of all disciplines at PhD level.

And at the same time, they're stupid like a six-year-old in many ways, not able to plan more than an hour ahead.

So...

They're not like us.

Their intelligence cannot be measured by IQ or something like this because there are many dimensions, and you really have to measure many of these dimensions to get a sense of where they could be useful and where they could be dangerous.

Yeah, and some of our psychological weaknesses, I think...

You could say they're part of the package that we have as children and we don't always have the maturity to step back or the environment to step back.

So there's a worse scenario in terms of like biological catastrophes.

It's called mirror life.

Mirror life.

Mirror life.

So you take a living organism, like a virus or a bacteria, and you design all of the molecules inside.

So each molecule is the mirror of the normal one.

So if you had the whole organism on one side of the mirror, now imagine on the other side.

It's not the same molecules.

It's just a mirror image.
