Distillation Article

Image
  There are a couple of questions I want to answer in my distillation:  What are some terms that are essential for a successful distillation?  How is Paul Christiano organizing his article?  What is the Humans vs. chimps “fast” take-off argument?  What is “the AGI will be a side effect” argument?   What is the “Understanding” is discontinuous argument? What are some terms that are essential for a successful distillation? Before distilling, I would like to define some technical terms that may be beneficial for gaining the most from my article.  Artificial intelligence (AI) systems— are developing at a qualitative rate. There are three types of AI: narrow AI (ANI), general artificial intelligence (AGI), and superintelligent AI (ASI). Each of these compartmentalizations of AI systems has respective political, sociological, and economical importance on human progress.  Benevolent AI— is aligned with human values, and would not present existential thre...

Everyone from that time saturates themselves with a darker hue, like cellar antiques that can not bear the lightness of day. He will walk around the largest pillars, turn around to face the radiance. They follow me until the end of my past.

 I haven't written in quite some time, and I thought about pushing it even further. So be it, let us push further into the future. Here is what I wrote for a newly-learned topic.  _________________________________________________________________________ Capabilities:  Algorithmic and compute advancement  Social:  Socioeconomic changes  Systemic:  Policies, regulations, and incentives.  _________________________________________________________________________ Question: What will AI systems look like in 10 years and how will current AI systems develop to get there? AI Systems Landscape by 2032 — evaluating current and future trajectories  Before I begin, I would like to address my critical shortcomings in my prediction. First, I suspect that I will be taking a convenient sampling, basing my predictions mainly on artificial intelligence precedents and their respective characteristics. Second, I will approximate this landscape with a limited numb...
