I imagine a future where AGI sneaks past us, like where Google can understand 50% of 8 word long natural language questions this year, and 60% next year. Where they gradually switch from hand labeling of images to machine labeling and nobody notices. Where Mike gets his poetry machine that does nothing but poetry, but nobody cares if it is human or machine because it is just one more way that the internet gets smarter. Where we don't call it AGI because nobody mistakes an instant-access all-knowing internet for a human. Where we demand that machines record our every move (like this conversation) and make it all public and searchable. Where everyone knows enough about you to create a simulation good enough to fool all your friends and relatives. Where people create their own simulations and insist that they be turned on and have legal rights after they die. Where living humans go along in our quest for immortality. Where simulations compete, reproduce, evolve, acquire all of the world's computing power, and find DNA based computation to be too slow... -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=117534816-b15a34 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
