Human is the awkward liminal phase between animal and machine

Neuralink, eksokorteksa risinājumu R&D kompānija un Maska kārtējais megaprojekts, beidzot ir iznākusi publikā un to pavada lielisks un masīvs “Wait But Why” enciklopēdijbloga raksts, ko iesaku izlasīt visiem, kam kaut pa pieskari interesē šī tematika (ieskaitot tos, kuriem nav problēmu ar pašu papīru un publikāciju lasīšanu, jo WBW autoru uzražotos rakstus vismaz mana necilā persona atrod arī par labu izklaidējošo materiālu). Citējot XKCD, “a huge and alien future is barreling toward us, and I can’t wait”.

Citās, ar šīm saistītās ziņās – Kernel, kompānija, kur T. Bergera hipokampa protēžu laboratorijas vecā komanda ar vairākiem jauniem un aizraujošiem papildinājumiem bīda līdzīgu tehnoloģiju izstrādnes mazliet citos virzienos, drīzumā nāks klajā ar progresa raportu; sekosim līdzi.

This is likely true, and most likely worth more thought than it has received so far.

Labākais pirmā aprīļa joks, kādu šogad esmu redzējis, ar ļoti lielu pārsvaru ir šis papīrs.

In recent years, a number of prominent computer scientists, along with academics in fields such as philosophy and physics, have lent credence to the notion that machines may one day become as large as humans. Many have further argued that machines could even come to exceed human size by a significant margin. However, there are at least seven distinct arguments that preclude this outcome. We show that it is not only implausible that machines will ever exceed human size, but in fact impossible.

Tie, kuri puslīdz regulāri lasa manu blogu, sapratīs, kādēļ man tā šķiet. Sapratušajiem iesaku izlasīt visu tekstu, ir vērts.

Rather than asking what might remain uniquely human, perhaps we should question what kind of humanity we aspire to become.

If we can create a high-bandwidth neural interface with your digital self, then you’re no longer [a pet for the AI].

Kad saku, ka “parakstos zem Šeina Lega intelekta definīcijas”, es domāju šo.

Foto no šī gada “Altius” grupas konferences “The Brain of the Future: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Automation, and Politics in the Age of Thinking Machines” Oksfordā. Daudz vairāk un tehniskāk par šo pašu tēmu var izlasīt Š. Lega monogrāfijā “Machine Super Intelligence”.

Atgriežoties pie dziļo perceptronu “sapņu” tēmas — tagad ir pieejams arī oriģinālais kods attiecīgā veida attēlu ģenerēšanai. Tiem, kas nevēlas nodarboties ar palielas bibliotēku pakas instalēšanu (kur daļa no tām, iespējams, nedarbosies uz Windows), reizēm (lapa nav stabila) ir pieejams arī online serviss ar to pašu.

Deep learning systems can autonomously learn to play video games, they successfully compete with humans in IQ tests, they excel at image and speech recognition, they invent hypotheses and successfully test them, they are curious and potentially capable of efficient self-improvement.

And it turns out they see the world like this. This is eldritch even by my standards.
