Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

      When an eminent AI scientist claims to know the timelines of the field for the next three decades, they are usually speaking uninformatively. When they tell you that you can't get to Artificial General Intelligence just by doing X, they are usually correct.

      E.g. I agree with all of: "You can't get to AGI with *only*:" - more hardware - gradient descent - currently published techniques for RL that I've read about - currently published ideas the eminent scientist has read about

      You can get to AGI with Y, though. Or Z. Or 💡. And even if the eminent author has some ideas about Y, they haven't thought about Z, and even I've never considered 💡. Deepmind could be working on 💡 right now. And that's the problem with trying to guess timelines.

          I can’t help but read this tweet as “enough lightbulbs, in addition to helping with SAD, can create AGI.”.

          What if Deepmind is working on 🔑 or 🔨 instead of💡? Surely then we can guess the timeline of a completely unknown unknown. (And this may be the first time I've used emoji sarcastically, certainly in a discussion of this sort.)

          What's some good rationalist fiction like Harry Potter and the methods of rationality? That teach you rationality techniques.

          Given complexity perhaps we'd need a much larger alphabet to represent successful actions :)

          Once you put can put words together as a machine, it wouldn't need to go through trial & error as you see in Deepmind but would be efficient with an wifi/Ethernet connection.. I would attempt it but I'm working on a game cause I need money💰💰

          I've always been skeptical of Deepmind for which it only relies on visual interpretation such as frames/pixels & learning/adapting from it. Could be me but always felt the solution lies in the ability to put words together that would lead to ultimately evolve & surpass Deepmind
