Fully agree with this article. Our definition for intelligence: "Intelligence is conceptual awareness capable of real-time causal understanding and prediction about space-time."[1]

- canjobear 4y agoWhat is understanding?
- gibsonf1 4y agoThe ability to model an object in awareness and its causality that corresponds to its space-time reality
- mrwnmonm 4y agoCircular definitions, circular definitions, circular definitions everywhere.
- blamestross 4y agoIt's almost as if the only two modes of self consistent reasoning are either circular or predicated on assumptions taken in blind pragmatic faith.
- canjobear 4y agoWhat does it mean to model an object in awareness? Does Dall-E model an object in awareness when it is generating an image containing an object? How can you tell if it is or isn't?
- gibsonf1 4y agoAll ml/dl systems have no awareness - they just output based on input training - like a calculator outputs an answer. So what it means to model in awareness is what you are doing right now in reading this sentence. You take these words as input, model conceptually what they mean mentally, connect that model to your experience of space time, and then decide what to do next with that understanding.

- exit 4y agodoes doing awareness entail something non-mechanical?
- canjobear 4y ago> All ml/dl systems have no awareness - they just output based on input training Between the input and the output there is a function approximator. How can you be so sure what is and isn't going on in there? > So what it means to model in awareness is what you are doing right now in reading this sentence. I don't have any idea a priori of what is going on in my mind as I am reading a sentence. There are serious theories of neuroscience where the function of the brain is prediction. That would suggest that what I'm doing when I'm reading is trying to predict the next timeslice of my experience, quite similar to deep ML systems.
- airstrike 4y agoTo define() a Virtual Expectation of how a phenomenon ought to behave and then watch it play out in reality, confirming expectations most of the time but noticing when it deviates (meaningfully) from the expected output and refining that Virtual Expectation definition to include additional rules / special cases so that future reality-checks play out as expected Dall-E doesn't observe the real world and compare it to its "objects in awareness", so at best it only checks one out of two boxes in GP's definition
- nradov 4y agoIntelligence is the ability to accomplish goals by making optimal use of limited resources.
- zwkrt 4y agoBy which metric a tree is very intelligent and a man with a private yacht is not.
- butterNaN 4y agoWealth does not correlate with intelligence.
- YeezyMode 4y agoThis is a possibility that shouldn't be dismissed. Trees use mycorrhizal networks to communicate and have been around for a very long time on this planet. They model the environment and use either a set of micro-decisions or a set of larger, slower moves that are made across longer timescales than humanity is used to. You can argue whether they possess sentience or not, but when discussing models, decisions, and consequences - trees seem to act with plenty of coordination and understanding and self-interest.
- nradov 4y agoDoes a tree have goals? Does a wealthy man have unlimited resources? (Time is also a resource.)
- phkahler 4y agoDoes chatGPT have goals? WHY does it produce the output that it does? ;-)
- taneq 4y agoOnly if his goal was not “have his own private yacht.”
- taneq 4y agoSo a human that you chat with on the phone is intelligent but the same human as a pen pal is not?
