Wrote a fictional story for the next issue of Import AI that is pretty different to my previous ones. I think there are beautiful things ahead for humanity as AI gets more powerful and I've tried to capture some of that here. Issue should come out on Tuesday.
@headinajaro Note that the above is more about, to use your term, "helping the monkeys see the god". I agree that "controlling" the things requires different tools. Though it's hard to imagine that the control piece doesn't depend in part on legibility and technical assessment
Many people act like AI policy is some mystery where the right solution demands some kind of Policy Einstein who invents general relativity for tech regulation. This isn't true at all! There are many sensible ideas we could do today. All we need to do is choose to do them. x.com/gabriel_weil/s…
The best part is the majority of these ideas also have the property of continually generating information and building state capacity around advanced technology, so they start "paying out" to society in the form of more well-informed governance almost immediately.
Gotta hand it to him - Juergen Schmidhuber had some amazing papers in the 2010s - early stuff on handwriting recognition (arxiv.org/abs/1003.0358), computer vision (arxiv.org/abs/1102.0183), suggesting intelligence be benchmarked via video games (arxiv.org/abs/1109.1314), etc.
Now of course Schmidhuber is divisive and does spend a lot of time trying to appropriately assign credit in the history of AI and through this has become something of a punchline. But you have to admit that he has demonstrated incredible vision and foresight.
