Action or agency in the face of omniscience is impossible because information never stops being added.
How can you arrive at your destination if the distance keeps increasing?
We are intelligent because at some point we discard or are incapable and unwilling to get more information.
Similar to the bird who makes a nest on a tree marked for felling, an intelligent system will make decisions and take action based on a threshold of information quantity.

- bboygravity 1y agoWe are intelligent because at some point we discard or are incapable and unwilling to get more information?? That's so general that it says nothing. For example: you could say that is how inference in LLMs work (discarding irrelevant information). Or compression in zip files.
- bamboozled 1y agoI've always thought something similar, if the system keeps evolving to be more intelligent, and especially in the case of an "intelligence explosion" how do the system keep up with "itself" to do anything useful ?
