Actually no, a quantum computer doesn't solve AGI. Neural networks are not unitary. A quantum computer can only perform time reversible operations. It can't copy bits or write into memory.
In my paper on the cost of AI I specified the requirements for step 1 (automating labor) in more detail and analyzed the hardware, software, and training costs. To get the hardware cost under the ROI break even point of $1 quadrillion, we need to reduce power consumption by a factor of 100,000. That will require using nanotechnology instead of transistors, moving atoms instead of electrons. To train it, we need to accept a nearly complete loss of privacy. Step 2 (uploading) will only result in human extinction if everyone chooses to do it and people stop reproducing the old fashioned way. I doubt that will happen. Step 3, self replicating nanotechnology, has the potential to out compete DNA based life. This requires great care because once the technology is cheap, anyone could produce malicious replicators the same way that anyone with a computer can write a virus or worm. Fortunately Freitas analyzed the physics of replicators and concluded they could out compete bacteria only marginally in size, speed, and energy usage. https://foresight.org/nano/Ecophagy.php On Fri, Nov 8, 2019, 6:30 PM <rounce...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Funny you said that, because 2 of those happenings it actually dont > require human level intelligence to be automated, a quantum computer alone > would suffice. but the platform for the "artificial heaven" may actually > not even be possible even with AGI, theres huge security risks there only > god should be in charge of. > *Artificial General Intelligence List <https://agi.topicbox.com/latest>* > / AGI / see discussions <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi> + > participants <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/members> + delivery > options <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription> Permalink > <https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T6cada473e1abac06-M93f7ff5591aa47acfed7a35d> > ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T6cada473e1abac06-M84710c0635f72ce2d80ad823 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
