So you're in the "slow timelines, slow takeoff" camp. By "current systems" do you mean LLM's based on transformers? What about them do you believe would make a sub-decade path to AGI infeasible?
- chrsw 2y agoBy "current systems" I mean any technology I'm aware of. LLMs and transformers are trained on the data we feed them. And they can only do a limited number of things with the data. In certain domains that's enough to be impressive but I'd hardly call that a general learning architecture like a human being or even like a fruit fly. Living systems are constantly learning, constantly updating, constantly adapting, even before cognition and consciousness as we know it evolved.
