Let’s say it gets to the point that we reach superintelligence. All previous puzzles can be solved. But should they? Once you solve them, it’s done. What’s left? And where’s the fun and humanity?
The Olympics exist because we want to see human skill, even though jet planes exist.
- meken 18d agoNo one is saying you can’t solve puzzles that have already been solved. If you love solving puzzles, then whether it has been solved doesn’t seem all that important.
- yieldcrv 18d agoI disagree, but if you and others choose to untether from our plain for these reasons, I’m totally fine representing the human traits that remain here and pass my remain traits on
- greyw 17d agoIndeed no one forces you to look up the solution.
- jstanley 17d agoRight. The existence of jet planes doesn't invalidate Olympics. Why would the existence of machine solutions invalidate human puzzle solving?
- azinman2 17d agoBecause this was a mystery. The other replies seem to be missing that point. It’s similar to the issue that mathematicians are having in their field right now.
- jstanley 16d agoIf the thing that makes it interesting is that the solution is unknown to everyone, then would you also oppose humans publishing solutions? Once the solution is published the mystery is gone. Also, just because someone else knows something shouldn't make you any less curious about it yourself. If you don't know it then you don't know it, regardless of whether somebody else does. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/L22jhyY9ocXQNLqyE/science-as-curiosity-stopper https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/L22jhyY9ocXQNLqyE/science-as...
