Technically what I said is incorrect. I am simply unaware of any current solution or perspective on a solution to AI alignment or AI boxing that I consider to have a good chance of working. Perhaps someone knows one, or finds one soon. But it will surprise me.

The good news is that we were doomed all along. Nobody can be saved. We can only postpone death.

AI even at current stage isn't at a point where the machines truly understand the information we give them - most machine learning algorithms today are still glorified curve fitting algorithms, the human brain operates at multiple exascale - humans are still the gatekeepers

Yes, but that is no longer a problem of insufficient compute, but still a problem of not using the right bootstrapping algorithms. It is not clear how long it will take until someone foolish enough to implement them has the right idea.

We still haven't gone past the Chinese Room Argument, computers that truly understand do not currently exist - perhaps when we are able to model the human brain entirely it will be more likely but until then this is a non-argument

@ylecun and@AndrewYNg are correct: the current generation of learning systems is unlikely to result in the creation of minds like ours. But unlike them, I am not convinced that the next generation is necessarily far off. (The Chinese Room argument is nonsense, though.)1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Why is the Chinese Room Argument considered nonsense?

The short answer is that the mind that experiences understanding Chinese does not exist at the same level as the automaton that executes the algorithm that generates it.

How can humans create an algorithm which generates a mind when we haven't unraveled the secrets of our own? And if so how are we defining a mind as purely consciousness or perceived consciousness?

I don't think that there are any deep secrets left to understand about our own mind. The devil is in a number of details.
