- red75prime 9mo agoTurning into a human-level intelligence. If you believe that it requires magic, well, it's your right.
- krethh 9mo agoA $3 calculator today is capable of doing arithmetic that would require superhuman intelligence to do 100 years ago. It's extremely hard to define "human-level intelligence" but I think we can all agree that the definition of it changes with the tools available to humans. Humans seem remarkably suited to adapt to operate at the edges of what the technology of time can do.
- red75prime 9mo ago> that would require superhuman intelligence to do 100 years ago It had required a ton of ordinary intelligence people doing routine work (see Computer(occupation)). On the other hand, I don't think anyone has seriously considered to replace, say, von Neumann with a large collective of laypeople.
- azan_ 9mo agoWe are actually already at the level of magic genie or some sci-fi level device. It can't do anything obviously but what it can is mind blowing. And the basis of argument is obviously right - potential possibility is really low bar to pass and AGI is clearly possible.
