Re: Artist and Picture by J.W. Dunne

Sure, but that's not the "FOOM" scenario, in which an AI modifies its own source code, gets smarter, and with the increase in intelligence, is able to make yet more modifications to its own source code, and so on, until its intelligence far outstrips its previous capabilities before the recursive s

Advances in intelligence can just be gaining more factual knowledge, knowing more mathematics, using faster algorithms, etc.  None of that is barred by not being able to model oneself. Brent On 7/11/2019 11:41 AM, Terren Suydam wrote: Similarly, one can never completely understand one's own mi

Re: Artist and Picture by J.W. Dunne

Similarly, one can never completely understand one's own mind, for it would take a bigger mind than one has to do so. This, I believe, is the best argument against the runaway-intelligence scenarios in which sufficiently advanced AIs recursively improve their own code to achieve ever increasing adv
