are you arguing AI manufacturers and developers are not aware of possible risks?

The solution is simple: hold anyone who deploys an agent responsible for its behavior. If it commits 10 counts of felony hacking, ouch. If it kills 10 pedestrians by running a red light, ouch. If this is "human level intelligence&qu

Its interesting because I didn't think it was, but then reading the NVIDIA approach, this kind of loop plus generating a program to explain things. Maybe that is AGI? I don't know, but it seems like an additional layer that mayb

Is this AGI? I don't think I can score 100% on ARC AGI.

AbhiramaVS I think your choice to use exceptions is fine, it matches closely with Java / Python your inspirations. The "show me every error" crowd loves to harp on this issue, but the truth is, its a tradeoff like all others

I don't expect it to be free of corruption, but I can also acknowledge the systemic forces that are beyond my control which enable the corrupt excesses we see. Unfortunately, until the incentives reverse, it will continue. One of the

Correct, no justification to breed is needed whatsoever. Its a biological drive similar to eating and drinking, albeit on longer timescales and across generations rather than individuals. However, thought processes like the one you identif

This is the human equivalent of "simply write code with no bugs". If you can't figure out how to write code without bugs, you think you can cause a human being in a complex environment to do exactly what you want against all

Interesting, so this was effective when you were a child and you only listened and never did anything your parents told you not to? Sounds like if that was effective it might be your personality, but most people aren't like that. The

Well said, it also reads like someone who greatly overestimates their own control in what they think and "decide" to do. We are products of society unless we are truly living completely alone in the wilderness. Someone above sai

And it would only be true of things that are uncorrelated with an ascending sequence. As an example, I hand 4 people envelopes filled with a random amount of cash. Each looks at the cash and I ask what rank they think they are (1 to 4, 1

not really, my claim is that if random data reproduces the trend (e.g. experts undepredict, layment overpredict skill), then it might actually make the argument stronger than the traditional explanation. The traditional explanation is that

Interesting, maybe the fact that it is replicated by random noise is actually confirming the theory though. The article claims "completely random guessing replicates the DK graph". But that is compatible with "the ability t

Can't tell if this comment is serious. No, there are individual people who are capable of writing operating systems, browsers, source control systems, complex video games, and programming languages with no external guidance, design re

Are you asking why people can't seem to stop? Or why you seem to possess that ability? Both are biologically mechanistic like all behavior. Probably similar to why some people will kill for heroine while many don't. Or maybe th

Wasn't the original proof something like "a program that loops indefinitely when the oracle says it will halt, and stops immediately if an oracle says it will not stop"? The whole point was the you can construct a contradict

To borrow the argument from the apologists: But everyone learns by example! How is this any different from a person just reading the outputs of Fable, learning, then producing output. Surely reading outputs, gaining knowledge, then produc

Does this expend less carbon than you captured? Skimming, gathering, transport, drying, compression, burying. I assume to reach "gigatons captured per year" this would require heavy machinery and industrial buildout. Not that it

This article shows that we can reliably cause phytoplankton blooms, but doesn't link it with actual "carbon removal". I suppose CO2 is temporarily removed in the form of the bloom, but I believe historically these blooms hav

This is a sight-reading test. If a musician practices a piece for thousands of hours, it would no longer be an effective sight reading / creativity test. The purpose of the test was to see how models would compose something novel req

by program_whiz 2mo ago
the nature of the test was to see if the models can effectively compose an image of a novel concept outside the training set. If they are trained on it, it ceases to be an interesting test to some extent.

I think your response might be sarcasm, but actually this very situation demonstrates the truth of the adage. In this case, competition and information-sharing is driving intelligence to become a commodity, with ever shrinking margins above

Not sure you're wanting an explanation, but it comes down more to equivalent algorithms than rigid categories. For example there is a P algo to sort a list of numbers, but not to solve a sudoku (NP). However there is a polynomial alg
