- fxd 29d agoSo vague it’s useless. We cannot in a declarative sense define what is economically valuable work even now let alone into the future. People take what they can get for pay. Very few individuals can demand a wage. The value of employment is obviously designed around that, not some arbitrary definition of “valuable”. Of course an AI will accept $0/hr, it doesn’t mean it does the job. Anyone who could accurately define the value of work would be wildly successful without having to try. That is not a useful definition for me unfortunately.
- jryle70 28d agoThat's the challenge of defining intelligence. What is intelligence? Do you want to take a stab at defining/quantifying it? I'm s afraid anything specific you can come up with will also be useless.
- fxd 28d agoNo it isn’t. Nobody said you had to equate “intelligence” with “value of work” and you got it wrong: I said it’s impossible to define that value, not intelligence. I’ve seen a dozen or so useful definitions of intelligence.
