there's a specific article I was trying to find about IQ; it was a Medium rant by some statistician. off the top of my head I know IQ is only really a predictor for having a learning disability at the <100 values, above 100 its predictive capabilities diverge wildly

I wouldn't be surprised if intelligence was non-linear and only imperfectly measured by IQ.

thats something too: what if intelligence could be heuristically measured, but in a weird or complex way? speculation on artificial intelligence doesn't consider it at all

I'd take Taleb's claims with a grain of salt. It's not my field so not certain but there are a few convincing articles that claim to debunk him:https://www.jsmp.dk/posts/2019-06-16-talebiq/ …

But to respond more to your point, isn't that what IQ is? A heuristic for human general intelligence?

its not a very effective one, as we've seen. that AI speculation takes it as a sacred cow implies to me its the best one they can come up with, or that they don't really care about accurately quantifying intelligence. both these things make me want to dismiss it completely

To my knowledge, no machine learning researcher uses IQ to benchmark their models.

Nick, what is the stake at this point? All I see at this point is piles of bat dung.

There is nothing "at stake" in a hellthread. It's just what we do.
