03 / belief

I think we already have the AIs helping or influencing AI development in a recursive way of partly automating some code, helping design the chips, helping cool the power plants, helping label some of the data, doing the, you know, the constitutional AI related type of stuff.

I think you could certainly give them an under specified goal But I just don't think they could pursue that terribly coherently or, like, learn from experiments because they just have a big short term they they just have a short term memory of, like, maybe a million tokens.

The such projects would be sabotageable as well. So it's sort of I I think there's some key if you're saying, well, we'll have it just be an industry or something like that, well, then you're not gonna have good information security.

I don't like shutting down debates entirely, but I think I'd postpone I I I would postpone a lot of these sorts of post For instance, this post human stuff and and I'm just sort of flailing about and speaking somewhat imprecisely just because I haven't spent as much time thinking about this in particular.

The reason this is and for fluid intelligence, such as what we see in the Arc AGI thing and Raven's regressive Matrices test, that still seems very deficient as well. So I think when thinking about these it's important to split up one's notion of cognition because if there is a severe limitation on any of these dimensions, then the models will be fairly defective economically, or at least for many tasks.

I think you have to have the background context in both cases be that you're able to proceed with development under some risk tolerance that's much lower than what there is today.

I think basically both positions are legitimate, but I think if you'd integrate them, there could be a bullish case that you'll be able to knock off some of this cognitive abilities by the end of the decade.

I think pushing for things like transparency as well as the government having people whose job it is to be keeping track of these, coming up with contingency plans, interviewing these labs for their plans and coming up with an internal assessment, their probability of success.

You know, there's there's a lot in this in this deep future that 1 could pull at, but I I I think there are some there there are some, paths, where things work out well.

Main progress over the past 2 years or so has been in mathematical ability and short term memory is also better. But so I'm still wrapping my head around that since I'm being more noncommittal about some of these different forecasts where I think maybe it still seems very plausible, more than plausible by 2,030 something that has the cognitive abilities of a typical human, some system like that.

I think that that's, that's a direction or an interpretation of those facts that that had that is reasonable, but but there's there's a question of incentives and what you know, there might be a a somewhat different ask that's better.

I think AGI doesn't have a clear definition, so it's difficult for me to say for all definitions of that that would be worth standing in front of.

I think you could set a society up so that people have the autonomy to choose between different ways that they would want to live their life given the resources that AI increasing GDP could provide.
