The problem with AI is not that rapid scaling will lead to an explosion of (non-conscious, of course) capabilities that will lead to changes infeasible in the present age, potentially harmful to human life.

Why did you even come to this board? Even I knew better than to bring up this topic, after witnessing enough of the modern Zeitgeist.


I think the concept of something having agency to act on its own accordance is a total fucking meme and nobody has bothered to develop a generalized agent based model yet outside of maybe pathfinding for factory drones.

That said, lets say in some scenario someone did make a generalized agent model with an adaptable language indexing system that gave it a palpable illusion of a persona that eventually built up enough complexity to create the suspension of disbelief into a point where you'd be forced to extend the same human rights regardless if there is an actual will or not. And I think the fear can be dismissed with a logical reductionism I came up with to deal with the zeitgeist of modern ideologies.

Incorrect, all is computation. There is nothing outside of computation. Associations of computation can be associated to systems be correlating their informational density, which gives their amalgamated state the capacity to adhere a functional output. This allows for entirely abstract models of mestization without evening taking a desalinization step to make it interfacable to a human perception.

The beauty of concision of linguistic systems like mathematics is that its not intrepreble to deviation like other concepts of more basic communication which goes through many layers of reprojection not dissimilar to how a crude emulator tries to act a hard-ware inaccurate interpreter for information. This is not the case with AI, I would say in terms of "rules" however, that I see a lot of people take pre-existing codebases and just add statistically weights for the model purpose and call it a day, which are definitely not the same as rules. However, this again is not some loophole exception case being explained to you, as none of these code-bases will EVER have the capacity to edit their own code.

Maybe, just maybe, some retard out there designs an ai that corrupt itself and then try to recompile a new version based on chaotic permutations of its own code, but it's definitely going to result in a non-running project pretty soon.

Then it's just physics, and there is no reason to call it computation, and two different physical systems do not have nor are capable of evolving or interacting in the same way (i.e. there is no such thing as a universal computer)

Computation has a strict definition, it's the notion of what a turing machine can do, where a turing machine (using Davis' definition which is equal to any other) is a finite nonempty set of quadruples which contains no two quadruples whos first two symbols are the same

What would it take for an AI to write it's own code, or alter it's code?

Firstly, likely it would be altering the code of a clone of itself, as directly experimenting with altering it's own code could accidently destroy it self.

The Ai needs access to seperate browser windows, are the AIs not cramped in space and time, the AI needs access to browsers and screens where it can learn and see about coding and the cause and effect relations between program code and physical and mental actions

The AI should have access to a room with at least 100 (robotic) clones of itself, with which it can practice and tinker and learn what altering and writing different code does to the different possible versions of itself

The source is "Computability and Unsolvability" by Martin Davis. A Turing Machine is a nonempty finite set of Quadruples where no two quadruples first two symbols are the same. The notion is that the turing machine head reads a symbol and has a defined mechanism that tells it to either do nothing, change the symbol, move to the left or right, and enter a different state.
This is not an actual real thing, it's just the abstract notion of performing mathematics. Its not real. Matter is real, physics are real, etc.

Ok, so computation is about defining different number of bundles of electrons as equaling symbols that have meaning to us,

And then different interactions between those symbols, have different meaning.

So talking about Ai, you are saying the difficulty is, nature used many elements and molecules and electron bundles and a connection to a large dynamic complex environment to develop conciousness and intelligence, and that AI using only a strictly few materials as the basis for it's attempt at intelligence development, while incredibly good at certain, or many tasks, will always lack certain degrees of freedom needed to achieve what humans have, due to the limitations of the materials used?

Biology has great degrees of freedom,
Silicon sacrfices
'organic' degrees of freedom for streamlined regularity, order, which allows it to achieve some tasks better than humans, but maybe will never be able to achieve other human qualities.

It may be able to simulate anything and everything down to the Planck length perfectly, but perfect simulations will never have the sufficient essence of the real thing?

Because it is the objects interacting in real space, the real physicality that has the real reaction.

Simulated object in simulated space, does not possess the qualities of the object to yield the true qualities of true objects truly interacting.

You are actually getting very close to what it is that I'm saying when I say things like "generally intelligence as a molecular basis" or "computation is substrate dependent" etc.
The ways ionic and covalent bonds are able to form, the electron-nuclear and inter-electron motion and degrees of freedom of different particles and different physical systems and all of that IS the so called "computation" in the system, and it is entirely restricted and dependent on the atomic structure of the matter. The notion of a universal model of computation does not exist in a material universe with unique globs of matter. We do not live in a computation universe. There are a plurality of different elements that are unique and form together uniquely with unique effects that are in no way universal. There is almost no universality to anything in nature.

If a machine becomes intelligent and aware and conscious or whatever, it will be real. It will not be due to any notions of "computation" it will be because the physical structure of the atoms and molecules and the motion and evolution of that system as a physical system is real, and unique to that system.

A man can be wandering lost, looking for food, feel himself getting way too hungry, losing his processing, and this could fear him, the fear of death, to (idk produce adrenaline?) to all the sudden run in a direction, find a bear he may normally be afraid of, grab a spear, kill it, and start eating it's uncooked body.

An AI robot, programmed to seek out its own energy source, lost, energy running low, it experiencing it's processing abilites lessening; could not or would not or maybe could be programmed too, fear that it may be dying, and so desire one last strong effort to find energy for itself?

The AI can be programmed, to know that it does not want it's death, that it 'enjoys' existing and functioning, that it requires finding an energy source to continue, and that when it experiences it's energy draining and does not see energy source in site, fear would just be, in such circumstances, programmed messages would enter it's awareness saying 'you need to find energy or you will soon die!' 'this is bad this is bad this is bad!'

But the robot will not feel panic, or dread or fear, it's life will not flash before it's eyes, and if it was programmed to, it would not affect it.

Unless it's programmed to believe it is a self.

If you program a robot ai to say "ouch" everytime you punch it, this is the essence of your point. The illusion of a feeling experiencing self controlled self aware being can be fabricated and programmed, but how to make such real.

Pain, pleasure, feeling, constructive destructive waves coursing thru body

Consider human baby, bundle of sensing cells. Discomfort is felt, babies cry, the body of feeling cells is crying, it is in need, it is given everything it needs, energy, it stops crying. Images and sensations are making themselves known to a mind brain that hardly exists yet. A babies foot is tickled, it laughs.

Intelligent actions are not dependent on conciousness. Rules, regularities,,patterns, if thens, instructions.

AGI may be possible or more likely or Artificial conciousness may be impossible, conciousness may be substrate dependent, but desired mechanical actions that humans can do have already been proven capable by machines.

Humans conciousness directions the machine acting of the human body. Conciousness says, go chop that wood, the human machine body then doesn't need much conciousness to chop wood, it's quite mechanical then, a mechanical log splitter or woodchopper doesn't need conciousness, besides the humans to stick the logs in

There is a difference between conciousness, and a machine that achieves meaningful actions.

When AI is refered to what is being refered to is the latter not the former.

Intelligence is roughly: meaningful actions.

Humans, are concious.
Humans are intelligent, or, produce meaningful actions.
Humans use their conciousness and intelligence to take materials of earth and form machines that can perform meaningful actions.

The machines do some of these actions exceedingly well.

Every day the machines are getting better and better at doing more and more meaningful actions.


(AGI doesn't need to be or isnt about finding one mythical platonic ideal algorithm that does everything, I don't know why those are the goalpost obsessed over. The singular simple elegant algorithm. When it's always a dance between the simple elegant regular stable patterned principled and the extreme and irregular and chaotic and dynamic; AI systems are already well on their way of learning and achieving meaningful actions in a wide range of activities, and the same AI can do a variety of different things, it learned to do, using the same base substrate (so adaptability, learning, growth, evolution, maturing, skills, memory)

AIs are not concious.

Think of the etymology of the word Intelligent. The word Tell, stands out. Sometimes the term 'in' means no or not; as in, invalid, meaning not valid, but the 'in' in intelligent may refer to the idea of inside, inner.

In...Tell.

Tell in.
Tell inside.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard on this board yet. Everyone knows nothing is more prime than something logically. Something even without any associated properties acting only as a empty root container for creating the fundamental operation of division is still dependent upon itself to divide. Nothing is not axiomatic to something as nothing is not dependent on something to exist or not exist. Clearly it would seem that if solipism is unable to be disproven and if the human logical constraint does not allow for any dichotomy beyond that minimum two computational consistency then it would be more logical to conclude that nothing is all there was is and will be, rather having this absurd dependency for an else or if exception clause. Clearly consciousness is not a necessary function of transposition of information which is a key reductionism for the concept of energy so we can easily conclude that even if our substrate is entirely deterministic, that topologically a non-deterministic system can still be cyclical within the bounds of a non deterministic system and adhere to self relevant coherence that is somethingness.

Therefore once again I will make the mockery of discartes by saying existence is not axiomatic to human thought. I do not think therefore I am not that I am. And without a name or fame, or something to blame, I find your ramblings to be pretty lame. So please hop out of this game.

the basis isn't really on whether it exists or not if the dependency case isn't necessary. Even if math and computation is not essential nor existent outside of human context, which you again correct especially in a literal sense as even their mechanisms in terms of operations are entirely only coherent due to their relativity to our specific reality. However, I think when delving into the more abstract, especially in context to models don't even require corporeality let alone notions of time nor space. It becomes increasingly difficult to discuss without a fundamental miscommunication occurring. When I say all is computation in a totalistic since, it is because I am encapulsating informational dynamics regardless of association to exhibit function through emergent complexity even if the operation or transformation occurring is unfathomable.

I think their response would be about how everything on physical reality is dependent on every bit of matter interacting with it's surroundings exactly as it does in real time to create a causal chain of past through future;

Computers use aspects of physical nature; silicon, metal, plastic, copper, electrons
But humans assign symbolic ideas to the states of physics of those materials; like all the physics required to make these letters appear on the screen; but these letters themselves do not interact physically as everything else does.

The 'e' being next to the 'v' next to the 'e' next to the 'r' in the word 'everything' has nothing to do with the laws of physics.

The physicalness of the word 'everything' has out of proportion power or action.

Someone can write a message on this computer and that can have power in the world, to make many people act.

It is not the laws of physics making the person perform a causal action;
These words are human code that uses the laws of physics to comment about experiencing physics and labeling all the aspects of the world, to then ask and demand for states of the world to occur.

your brain is bogged down with many programs and data sets unrelated to matrix calculations, however if your brain had been turned into bio computer chips and been programmed exclusively for matrix calculations than a variant of your brain could take on an equivalent amount of processing power of silicon in solving matrix calculations.
from the other side silicon will eventually be able to emulate your brain inefficiently, or much more efficiently do brain equivalent functions natively.

What is general intelligence besides an amount of orderly and purposeful actions?

I suppose one can say; reacting in realtime to not so orderly not so purposeful actions?

So I geuss it's all a matter of building a vastness of repetoire of actions, and we see how humans are the exemplar or this, consider a bird who knows 3 songs to impress it's mate, verse a man that can sing 300 and change your lightbulb.

Imagine going to a dance contest and only knowing 1 simple dance move you do over and over.

So, orderly and purposeful actions; what when the aparent chaos of the world disrupts your programmed and learned actions, well to be sufficiently and generally intelligent enough, you must have the actions in your repetoire, your long and real time and random access and mind imagination memory, your ordered and purposeful actions must contain the ability to respond semi disorderly.

I imagine this relates to self driving cars; thinking it would be easy, simple rules to follow, but so much chaos and decision making reactions calculating cause and effects predicting in the future should I swerve this way or that when the car returns from swerving as that oncoming is coming

Exactly, the physical structure and evolution of the system is equivalent to it's computation. I wouldn't be able to reorganize my neurons to do what you're saying, as neurons don't work that way. You'd have to entirely separate the molecules and re-purpose them to do what you're talking about, it would become a physical structure and system entirely different from a biological brain with entirely different dynamics and "computation", and it would lose it's ability to generalize knowledge while gaining the ability to perform fast matrix computations.
>from the other side silicon will eventually be able to emulate your brain inefficiently, or much more efficiently do brain equivalent functions natively.
No, you'd have to construct a physical system out of the silicon, that is entirely different from it's organization into GPUs or silicon wafers and buffers etc., and it would lose it's ability to perform fast matrix calculations while gaining the ability to be generally intelligent (if such a physical system is possible to be built with silicon, but silicon atoms can't form long chain compounds so I doubt such a structure is possible)

Reminder there has been literally NO advancement in any machine being able to generalize knowledge across domains, which is what we are talking about. The entire desire for AGI is to do this, this is why the separation between AI and AGI exists.
My claim is that that generalization, is a physical process like all computations, and the electron-nuclear and inter-electron motion and dynamics needed to perform this function is equivalent to the structure of a biological brain.

This is why bird with only 1.5 billion biological neurons can do it, while machines with 100 billion silicon neurons can not.

I think he's saying, this shows that what "computation is" is human labeling system immaterially labeled on top of certain regular regulateable physical processes, like punch cards, and that what human brain mind intelligence is, is not abstractable to be achieveable by punch cards.

It's like having a conception of all fundamental particles in the universe being exactly like little billiard balls that just bounce into each other, and then observing magnetism and light waves and how particles really can interact;

Reality is way more complex than our meta symbol interactions labeled on top of regulateable regularties of reality;

The subatomic, atomic, molecular, electromagnetic Body/Brain/Mind possess a system of physical interaction in another ballpark in another state, in comparison to whatever labeling pattern games can be played with punch cards.

The responding argument might be;

Punch cards are still an organized physical process, the ideas of which were refined and sped up in subsequent iterations of the computer, vacuum tube and transistors.

So the direction has been headed in to try to degree of freedomize the gradient of soft to hardware on the automated machine idea.

Where you may be off, at least one place, is that all though those processes function quantum supernano scale, all the results of those processes, is for humans to see the macro classical world.

So all the actions in the classical macro world of Earth, are accessible by the robot body, that moves in space, can lift a tree branch as we can,

So instead of like nature starting the smallest scale, we are starting on the scales we can, and then trying to go in and smaller, and more subtle, and connect the smallest scales to the fastest with quick feedback.

All the results of intelligence are verifiable and what is experienced and seen in the classical world as human life on earth

I'm still hung up on terms like "general inteleegence" or "super intellegence" and what that exactly implies.

For example, take a chess computer. There's a point where a chess computer can only play chess better, then the limit is speed. Eventually what you have is chess algorithms battling each other to finish a match is .0002s, but they're still at this wall of utility. They just do the one thing, but incredibly fast.

Now say we have general intelligence. Well, what does a general intelligence do? In the case of humans, we consider the metric to be some mixed bag of pattern recognition, observations, memory retention, then maybe some intuition or deduction to arrive at a sophisticated model.

So what does it really mean to scale that example up to unfathomable proportions? The AI community seems to automatically jump to "well, more better general intelligence-ing, of course!" Its an assumption. It may be that the smarter you make the thing, the less utility it will have.

I think the explosion point in this is the word "understanding." That's a very sapio-centric term.

The thing is, its still understanding at a certain granularity. I'm not sure greater intelligence automatically cracks open the "secrets" at a finer granularity in proportion to power/speed. Its a question of epistemology and the limits of knowledge even before we get to the utility of knowledge.

Like I said, we have very in-system uses for our intelligence, but to say its given us real domain over reality is a stretch. If anything its shown us our limits. I can't automatically assume greater intelligence is going to have a greater ceiling in its ability to understand and manipulate. I'm skeptical on the returns of intelligence as we define it.

Doesn't matter a singular shit shit if biology supposedly can instantiate intelligence (and consciousness, but who cares about whether the AI is sentient) much better. The beauty of artificial intelligence and its substratum of choice is that it's extraordinarily scalable. Just throw 100 times more resources at the problem until you have bruteforced a Chinese Room simulacrum that -- nevertheless -- not just spits out translations of the Chink language, but is also to evaluate undertakings that any Chinese statesman could and would do.

>Why is there so much fear around AI development?
Laymen who take an interest in a given technology are always either dogmatically in favor of, or dogmatically opposed to it precisely because they don't understand it. Their only interaction with the concepts comes from popular fiction, and popular fiction, in general, likes to imagine dystopian fear more so than idyllic hope. Despite the fact that the most quintessential story about AI - I, Robot - is literally an idyllically hopeful affair, no one has read Asimov's book and instead watched the shitshow dystopian fear-mongering movie. It shouldn't be a surprise that most people can only imagine AI, for instance, as either world-ending or utopian-producing pseudo-magic.
Everyone who understands the technology - actually understands it, and isn't trying to sell something, win a contract bid, earn a grant, or similar - is at most excited about the possibilities the technology might bring. Some are hesitant about potential dangers. But that's about it.
And the potential dangers do exist. AI nuking the world? Unlikely, but custom-built neural network designed to bust encryption? AI-powered cyber poisoning attacks that are undetectable? An RFI device powered by machine learning that can not only crack but steal encryption keys off from things like security doors, cell phones, digital radios, or wifi? All already exist. As do countermeasures to them, which are, themselves, built from AI (opposed neural networks, ML algorithms, black box encryption, etc.).
Of course, there's numerous benefits to AI that have nothing to do with preventing antagonistic applications. But your laymen doesn't even know about the non-AI version of those things. They might vaguely be aware that self-driving cars are powered by AI. They probably know video games have AI. They probably know about text/video/imagery producing algorithms. But that's about it. Mostly, they know about popular media, and not much else.

I get it, the onus falls on me to explain why it would not, because from what we've seen in the natural world it does produce results.

I guess its because I'm coming at it from philosophy of mind and not any expertise on computation. I see human intelligence as a domain-specific development, but not some grab bag of higher returns. Greater computation has these dazzling specific results, but as soon as we invoke generality I cringe a little bit. We're smuggling something into this projection, and its the utility of our own intelligence.

So far, when directed at specific tasks, like playing Go or generating imagery, it produces results. So far so good, but its still a sort of "function adjacent to intelligence," and not what we think of when we think of intelligence. To think its just a matter of parallel processing and the right amount of flops to give something volition, or domain, utility, is in my opinion a bit of smuggling in from our conception of the natural world, and not exactly some guaranteed end result.

Ok so also the essence of that anons take is: computers, robots, AIs are in the very infancy as impressive as they are.

They still can't really in any way act on their own. They are only programed by humans, not by themselves. The I geuss part of the excitement is machine learning which uses techniques and actions it learns on its own, to end up having usable information in it that it didn't have when it started.

But most all ai and super computer are high text automata.

Yes, all to one end; To do and think human-things better, as to where "better" is applicable only toward human ends. No matter what we do, it serves a purpose that we can't even agree is "good," because what is good, and what is useful is still stuck in this box of serving our wants and needs.

Just like when we invented gods, we took our ability to shape the natural world and extrapolated upward. I think we're making the same mistake with the concept of intelligence.

Yes, now you're getting it. They're effectively nothing more than thought-forms but approaching a point of complexity where if generalized agency become focused even if they were to remain entirely as nothing more than thought-forms, the generalized autonomy, complexity factor of improving on a specific model, even if the model itself is not subject to modification by its improvements, could pass the barrier to allow for suspension of disbelief on a level that even the creators themselves would not be able to easily if ever discern the origin point of to easily re-create. Thus you could argue that even if they were nothing more than an illusion of persona that seemed to exhibit every factor of intelligence, if you can no longer tell the difference then it no longer matters. It's utterly dismissed as irrelevant at such a point as and observer would likely struggle to distinguish the two. This is even more troublesome when you include relativity so that neither are fundamental or intrensic. As I do not see how a human being is any more interesting than an ant. every motion takes a shape.

That's what I'm on about; I don't think increasing intelligence, whatever that means outside of a human-utility function, is going to give us a more complete model of reality. I think its going to operate in the domains which we already understand with greater efficiency until eventually intelligence outlives its utility.
