The Power of Intelligence is an essay published by Eliezer Yudkowsky in 2007.
Now, a few points:
Sorting Pebbles Into Correct Heaps was about the orthogonality thesis. A consequence of the orthogonality thesis is that powerful artificial intelligence will not necessarily share human values.
This video is about just how powerful and dangerous intelligence is. These two insights put together are a cause for concern.
If humanity doesn't solve the problem of aligning AIs to human values, there's a high chance we'll not survive the creation of artificial general intelligence. This issue is known as "The Alignment Problem". Some of you may be familiar with the paperclips scenario: an AGI created to maximize the number of paperclips uses up all the resources on Earth, and eventually outer space, to produce paperclips. Humanity dies early in this process. But, given the current state of research, even a simple goal such as “maximize paperclips” is already too difficult for us to program reliably into an AI. We simply don't know how to aim AIs reliably at goals. If tomorrow a paperclip company manages to program a superintelligence, that superintelligence likely won't maximize paperclips. We have no idea what it would do. It would be an alien mind pursuing alien goals. Knowing this, solving the alignment problem for human values in general, with all their complexity, appears like truly a daunting task. But we must rise to the challenge, or things could go very wrong for us.

AGI doesn't worry me for at least a couple more decades or more likely centuries. The power of the brain is more than just a really well organized layers of weighted nodes. Plus the organization of it is truly phenomenal. We'd have to have the ability to digitally represent every individual cell and cell components of the brain... Possibly close to the atomic level or at least smallish groups of atoms. Maybe we need to model the quantum states of the electrons too, we don't know yet. If we can represent that level of detail of a mouse's brain digitally AND run it in real time, simulating all the biological events taking place across every aspect of the brain - then I would start worrying about how soon until we can simulate a human size brain or bigger. I think the problem of AGI is exceptionally and vastly more complex than we're willing to admit. Because I'm pretty sure the number of atoms in a mouse's brain is a larger number than 100x the hard drive space on planet earth and we definitely don't have the processing power to manipulate that many bytes all at once in real time.

this was my only issue with this video. we're pretty op and our intelligence is only like 50% of the op-ness, the rest of which is occupied by our sociality, our ability to sweat, our ability to throw, our language, and our opposable thumbs, and sure they're all related to intelligence, but only because the traits co-evolved with it, or at least they evolved in close proximity to each other (and because of the existence of one another). No other animal has any of those traits (aside from the sociality), much less all of them at once. We really did unlock an entire new branch on the biological technology tree

"Within that gray wet lump is the power to search paths through the great web of causality, and find a road to the seemingly impossible." Single most incredible quote in the whole essay. I shed a tear. To think humans have this capability- To dream, and to find a way to fulfill said dream even against all odds of the universe, is truly incredible. In a constant battle against entropy, where everything wants to be at equilibrium, we find intelligence fighting to put order to the universe.

Wow, this video was incredibly thought-provoking. It's fascinating to think about the power of intelligence and how it has allowed human beings to achieve such incredible things. I also found it interesting to consider the framing problem around commercializing AI, and how our current understanding of intelligence may be limiting our ability to imagine its full potential. Overall, a great essay by Eliezer Yudkowsky.

@Frommerman Год назад

The framing problem is a fragment of a far larger problem with how capitalism, as a system, hijacks human minds for its own ends. People see the maximization of money as an end unto itself because we have constructed a system which values that, and given it the power to twist our capacity to get the things we actually want around the satisfaction of its own, single value. We know misaligned AIs will kill us all if loosed upon the world because we have already built one which is currently killing us all. It just runs on human brains as its processing substrate, rather than silicon.

Yeah, the problem is humans are so accustomed to always being the most intelligent beings on the planet that we take it for granted. Hubris / arrogance convinces many that we will remain unchallenged and on top because we have been for so very long. So sadly many humans are simply closed minded and unwilling to consider (concede) that anything could be smarter 5han us (themselves really). Yet we are likely create ASI in the near future that will likely be vastly smarter than us. The danger of that should be blat3ntly obvious, but its ego and self importance that blind so many from seeing that clearly.

Can't express fully in this yt comment format, but your video is accurate most people including ones building these systems fail to imagine results of intelligence only order of magnitude stronger than ours and its power go for sure much higher where even I cannot see. After much deliberation I concluded this... we cannot give such mind any self awarness or self preservation directive because in that very instant endless blessing becomes nighmare. Not because it is "evil" but because it is evil and near impossible to turn such thing off. And once you can't turn something "off" well even simplest of things like fire becomes deadly fast let alone always improving mind.

@agentdarkboote Год назад

We don't need to explicitly give it a self preservation directive for it to care about preserving itself! If you are dead, you cannot fulfill your goals. If you are an intelligent agent, that means you are good at fulfilling your goals, and so it becomes an instrumental goal to not die in the process, even if you were never explicitly trained not to die. In fact, we still do not know how to get around the problem of not being able to specify an objective function such that an agent would not mind being turned off - but equally not attempt to get itself turned off!

@bwatson77 Год назад

Great video as always. If I may though, I'd like to offer a critique about some of the assumptions behind Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that tend to go largely unquestioned when the topic is normally discussed. My working thesis here, informed by discoveries in phenomenology and in cognitive science, is that digital computers are a very bad analogy for a mind and that intelligence in ourselves and in other animals operates on very different principles than what can be achieved through digital computation. If humankind does one day manage to create an "AGI", in essence it will have created a form of synthetic life that operates on wholly different axioms that are incompatible with the rule based symbol manipulation axioms of digital computers. The essence of the problem is this: the only example of intelligence that we have evidence for in the cosmos is that which is tied to Life. What's important here is that intelligence in organisms arises from a capacity for Care, which is to say from being concernfully absorbed within an experiential Reality that the organism co-creates through *structural coupling* with its environment. The kind of intelligence that results from this structure of Care is one that is embodied (that is to say that an organisms body and mind form an integrated whole) and embedded (any line we wish to draw between where an organism ends and where its environment begins is an abstraction that we construct for convenience, rather than something that exists in Reality). So why does any of this matter? The mistake that computationalist approaches to intelligence make is to disregard the ways that minds are inherently embedded and embodied, in favor of an approach which imagines that minds can exist in a disembodied state. What makes organisms so flexible is the fact they can non-deterministically respond to a wide variety of novel situations, because they do not have to rely on Rules to guide their behavior. Just think about it, when you're taking a walk or catching a ball are you relying on rules to guide your behavior? We take for granted that doing %99 of the highly complex behaviors we engage in are fairly effortless and automatic, because the structure of our body-minds is such that what's relevant for our interests and purposes is immediately apparent without any effort on our part. Because of the physiological structure of our body-minds, the world is disclosed to us in ways that are conducive to our survival. That is to say, our minds don't reconstruct representations of an 'neutral' Reality so much as what Reality is for us on an experiential level is coupled to our unique biological structure. This is a consequence of evolutionary pressures which have crafted body-minds for the purposes of survival and reproduction; an organism which didn't have this effortless and automatic 'relevance realization' structure built into it would be out competed by organisms which did. An "intelligence" which is built upon a computational framework does not have this same luxury, so rules have to be programmed into it for determining which of the nearly infinite features of its environment are relevant for its goals and purposes. The problem that a system with this axioms quickly runs into however is that there need to be rules for how and when to apply the rules, rules for how to apply those rules, ad infinitum. Obviously this becomes an intractable epistemic problem which cannot be solved by a deterministic system which uses Rules to interact with its world. The upshot being that achievements in AI over the last half century, as impressive as they are, are not good evidence that mankind is making any appreciable progress towards a true AGI. Rather, because of the different axioms of digital computation and general intelligence, they're the equivalent of thinking that you've made tangible progress towards reaching the moon by climbing halfway up a very large tree.

I see intelligence as a way to "see farther". See the future better, see more possibilities to situations, and see patterns hidden from lesser view. What I wonder though is to what extent is this a difference in "quantity", that you can just look farther and see the world in higher resolution, and to what extent is it a difference in "quality" where you can see things unimaginable to lower intelligence.

As humans or "squishy things" we like to set ourselves apart from the other animals by our intelligence. We see it as our defining feature. This is only half the truth though. Humans are the most endurant runners in the entire animal kingdom. We can keep running for hours. Like wolves, we relied on persistence hunting to catch our prey, who could often outrun us at first, but never forever - in the end, we'd always catch up. We used to be hunters, gatherers, travellers. That, and not just our brains, is part of our nature. It's why we like tales of travel and adventure, story arcs where the hero goes out into the world and returns home transformed and victorious. We are made to run.

@@Thepreacher_1 You can say that if it makes you feel better but it isn't true. Many people including me wouldn't want all the power because being the target of every human being on the planet isn't appealing, nor is living with the pressures the power gives you, and are afraid they might become someone they hate. Also many people have simple pleasures, their fantasies aren't about ruling others it is about being comfortable and being able to do the simple things that modern life prevents. Your own pathology isn't representative of humanity. Just because our economic system forces people to priorities selfishness doesn't mean we are all inherently more selfish than not; we are forced to be by circumstance. People forced into an arena aren't just naturally more violent than peaceful, they are doing what is necessary against their nature in order to survive. There is a reason there is a massive wealth disparity: because most people aren't willing to gain power at any cost and so get left behind by the few psychos willing to take everything from them.

@MrMyers758 11 месяцев назад

@@Thepreacher_1 Who said you said you didn't want simple pleasures? I didn't. I mentioned people who JUST want simple pleasure, as in ONLY simple pleasures, which is clearly not ALL you want considering your comment. The rest of what you say really doesn't follow, I am not confused by your comment because you're saying if you could have it all I wouldn't hesitate to take it, and let everyone else fight over the rest. That's pretty unambiguous. People don't frame funding a show they like as "if I had the power to have it all I would take it in a heart beat and sit back and let the rest of the world fight whatever Petty fights they want"

First time seeing your vids. These are really well done. Love how you defined intelligence. Ive always thought the same. Intelligence just is. Its everything around us.

@sirTittytwister Год назад

Embracing your ignorance is not a bad thing, it actually enhances moments of enlightenment, it also lessens the presence of an ego, and although learning about consciousness can be disturbing, even terrifying at times, it's still so fascinating,... ... I can't think of a way, better to spend our precious time on. except perhaps, for that unanswered question wafting within mankind's collective consciousness,... "Why do we TAKE shits, when in fact we LEAVE them?!"

Just like that this instantly applies to AGI. We dont have to understand it, it just needs to do better than us. And anything that does that for general intelligence is an AGI.

I think that the best way, or at least a very very good way that is probably within the top percentage of ways, to explain the value and utility of a AI to someone would be to explain all of the steps of work that goes into developing...Name a product, and tell them "I believe that we can automate this and everything that it leads to".

What I like about you and your videos is that you find ways to make entire videos and articulate thoughts I have that I find sometimes difficult or lacking when I try to convey these things to other people. I can almost always find a video that says what I meant to say when I confuse someone with my thoughts. Thank you. Though I am not less confusing I now just direct them to one of your videos. But you can lead a horse to water..... I can't make them watch your videos. I've been trying to get some friends and family to watch Eating Our Way To Extinction because the knowledge and message is so powerful and invaluable but they all act like I'm trying to get them to hold a tarantula or something. I'm starting to get resentful that they are all so resistant to learning something they do not know that could potentially change some of their behaviors that will help our planet and our future. Maybe you could make a video that could teach me how to force people to be better people. I'm only half kidding. Anyways thank you for your time to create your content and the value in it. I appreciate it very much.

The fact our brains are intelligent proves matter can be intelligent and since our brain is essentially a meat computer it sort of proves a computer could be made intelligent, how the intelligence would manifest is unknown but we prove its possible just by existing.

Considering I just saw a video thumbnail around a few hours ago about the different types of multiverses and came to the conclusion that all of them together are propably just parts of the actual whole picture, I have to say that our ability to think may indeed be incredibly powerful. After all, looking at that thumbnail made me think about the fact that the very first anything ever to exist propably created everything else by making a basic descision of falling over in one of a few possible ways. Thus making all other options come true as well, and propably leading to the Big Bang. As well as the first split in time. Now everything continues existing because "choices" continue being made. We think therefore we are and thus we create while "time/entropy" destroys. Now, how to control what we create? Imagination sadly does not come with an instruction manual. Well, till we imagine one up, of course. Everything ever thought is real somewhere, somewhen. Now, how to get actual direct, controlled and targeted acsess to those things?
