Matt: Which are these areas of science, technology, arts, or indeed any area
of
human activity, period, where the experts all agree and are NOT in deep
conflict?
MT:And if that's too hard a question, which are the areas of AI or AGI,
where
the experts all agree and are not in deep conflict?
Matt I don't expect the experts to agree.
That's the deadly serious criticism (among many others) of the fantasy of a
mushrooming database of knowledge. How do you test the supposed "facts"
resulting from your data mining?
How do you resolve disagreements? How do you know when to disagree with the
experts? How do you know what is truth and what fantasy? What would your
superAGI make from these archives about the future of AGI, & the many
problems of AGI? How would it deal with 40 or however many participants on
this forum, with their 80 plus opinions on everything? How would it resolve
the many thousands of different opinions on the Internet on issues like free
will/determinism or global warming or Iraq or how to seduce women or the
role of DNA or where to invest right now?
This -how you test knowledge - is a totally unsolved problem, just as every
other problem in AGI is totally unsolved.
Until there's the merest glimpse of a solution of just one problem,
fantasying about what shape a superAGI will or should take is not serious,
but a total waste of precious time that could be spent trying to solve those
problems.
