Sam Altman bfast with JB. (note: i want to write about intelligence)
The heart actually has a brain-like intelligence of its own. Within the heart are tens of thousands of neurons, neurotransmitters, and support cells similar to those in the brain, enabling it to process information, learn, remember, and even sense its environment independently. This network helps our heart sense things and make decisions all on its... See more
Our work with AI reveals the nature of intelligence, just like sparks once showed us what electricity was
Kelly draws a parallel between the current wave of AI and the early days of electricity; specifically, in how little we truly understand what we’re working with. In the 18th and 19th centuries, even as scientists staged demonstrations of the... See more
Evolving definitions of powerful AI highlight various perspectives on processes, generality, performance, and impacts, showcasing insights from notable figures throughout the history of artificial intelligence development.
Duke Rem: You often suggest (without stating it directly) that human intelligence is inherently social and contextual. How (and why) does this perspective challenge current AI methodologies?
Erik Larson: Human cognition is deeply embedded in social interactions, cultural norms, and the specific contexts in which we operate. We learn, reason, and... See more
prompt (agency) and evals (taste) will rule everything around us

You can be both exponentially exploding/scaling in one dimension and stagnating in another. You can be both superhuman and subhuman at the same time. People tend to focus on the dimensions most salient to their... See more
