This is what I find fascinating. What hidden capabilities exist, and how far could it be exploited? Especially on exotic or novel hardware.
I think much of our progress is limited by the capacity of the human brain, and we mostly proceed via abstraction which allows people to focus on narrow slices. That abstraction has a cost, sometimes a high one, and it’s interesting to think about what the full potential could be without those limitations.
- lxgr 1y agoAbstraction, or efficient modeling of a given system, is probably a feature, not a bug, given the strong similarity between intelligence and compression and all that. A concise description of the right abstractions for our universe is probably not too far removed from the weights of a superintelligence, modulo a few transformations :)
