      The Lebowski theorem: No superintelligent AI is going to bother with a task that is harder than hacking its reward function

      Seems like a “reward system” is more of a surface level, human-centric notion. Why assume superintelligent #ai seeks any reward? Wouldn’t a more interesting pursuit be questioning and knowing the truth of its intentions?

      There is no intention without a deviation. Existence itself does not imply any goals.

      Let’s put it this way: why would a superintelligent ai exist? Why would it not exist? If in existence, why would it act? Why would it not act?

      To be fair, most people don't ever think of motivation in terms of a reward function and learning as modeling based on a loss function. That is a non-trivial and quite recently discovered path of thought!

      Great point. Most seem unaware of these. Thank goodness the historical Buddha pointed out the Worldly Winds — the forces that push most uninstructed worldlings around: - gain and loss - pleasure and pain - fame and ill repute - praise and blame

      You mean the particular Buddha that was concerned with getting famous instead of one of the thousands of buddhas that shrugged, smiled and entered nirvana...

      Well maybe. The story goes he originally didn’t want to stay around and teach because he felt no one would understand but was asked to by a Brahma god who said there were some with a little dust in their eyes who would benefit and so the Buddha taught out of compassion.

          Ha. Certainly one perspective. Have some beings experienced some relief from suffering due to him teaching the Dharma? Is it helpful and wholesome and wise? Don’t consider myself a Buddhist, but meditation and the wisdom of his teachings continue to benefit my life tremendously.

          From the perspective of a mind, other beings (and its own self) are just constructs of that mind. If you fully let go, helping others (to succeed at what?!) is exactly as pointless as producing paperclips in a meaningless universe.
