An employee for OpenAI a billion dollar + AI research company basically owned by microsoft said there is a 5% chance of AGI (human level AI) being reached in 2022. Other knowlegable people said his prediction was reasonable.

Pure nonsense, what does “human level AI” even mean? Does it mean actually replicating human consciousness? I remember when they claimed AI “surpassed humans” when they finally invented a machine that can beat a world class chess player even though the machine can do nothing else. Don’t forget that scientists do not even know what human consciousness is, that it is surely more complicated than neurons firing on and off, is not comparable to the 1-0 of a machine.
Humans can hypothetically do any form of labor, can consciously improve themselves in any form of labor they desire, can read the emotions and understand the minds of other people, can consciously increase our own knowledge, are self-directed and self-motivated, heal ourselves automatically, can eat, walk, look for mates, look at the world, etc. We can contemplate the world, fuck, we can tell fucking jokes

This is how machine learning works, you are right machine learning alone is not going to lead to intelligence, that's just one component that is necessary for building an intelligence. Maybe it takes a few thousand of components like that. The AI people may have comically underestimated the scale of the task they have set them self.

>>672060
>yes but the implication only goes one way. intelligence ⇒ computation. no matter how much computation a computer performs, it will never be intelligent, no matter how much computation a computer performs, it will never be intelligent.
I would not rule it out in principle, the computers we use are Van Neuman type universal computers, that could run a physical simulation of a human brain. That would just be a very inefficient way of building a intelligence. It's probably a better strategy to build a computer that is structurally more similar to human brains. For example you could build it out of memristors instead of transistors. Memristors emulate the memory and learning properties of biological synapses , because their electrical resistance is based on the history of the current flowing through it. (look up neuromorphic computing if you are interested)
>this is very much Marx' point on concrete vs abstract labour. we can build machines that perform certain kinds of concrete labour, but we'll never build a machine that can perform abstract labour. having kids is easier. and given what I know of """AI""" research I'm going to stick my neck out and say GAI is not just hard but impossible
You stuck your neck out too far, humans are made out of atoms just like computers are, there is no fundamental barrier that would prevent us fom building an artificial intelligence, if you disagree with that you stop being a materialist. You may however be correct that we might never bother building artificial intelligence because children may very well be the more economical option. Building an AI the way it is in popular imagination is a multigenerational mega project, that demands a dedicated effort be upheld for centuries to a millennia.

A realistic Project is a brain emulator, for preserving the thoughts of brilliant people, in an interactive form, not just in form of books. At the moment you have to wait until that person dies, then quickly open up their skull and do a procedure that preserves their brain without degrading the internal structure. The next step is slicing the brain into super thin slices and then scan all those slices. We are talking millions of scanners working for the better part of a decade, to create a high fidelity brain-finger-print, and then a application specific neuromorphic memristor chip is fabricated that can run this brain emulation at similar speeds than a human brain at a manageable cost. The first memristor was build in 2008 so this technology already exists but it's super early. It could be ready in the early 22nd century, where one mind per decade could be preserved.

last time I read the literature there were indications that there are quantum effects at play in for example how the brain forms memories. if this is true then we can in fact not simulate a human brain because quantum simulation is NP. this is one motivation for building quantum computers, assuming quantum supremacy is possible. which we don't know.
maybe the quantum effects are local enough that this is not a problem. this is an open question as far as I know.
>there is no fundamental barrier that would prevent us from building an artificial intelligence

No that would mean quantum stuff interacting with the macroscopic world, physics is very clear about that not happening unless you make things extremely cold. For the macroscopic world all the quantum effects average out into a faint background noise at "normal" temperatures (above -250°C -450°F)
Biology that can exist on earth can't exploit quantum effects, unless it radically departs from every lifeform that we have ever seen. Birds with biological jet engines are more likely than this.

That human thought relies on quantum mechanics is highly controversial, even pseudoscience. I believe I have read similar new age shit about how quantum mechanics proves psychokinesis and quantum realm of souls. If there is any place for quantum mechanics in the brain it would be in the modelling of chemical reactions and that we already do, but that isn't even the fundamental level of human thought isn't it. Even if it were true you would have to prove that it is quantum mechanics in the brain that gives rise to true intelligence if that would be the unbreakable barrier of building truly intelligent computers. And if like let's say we could achieve 80% human like mind with connectome alone, would it have any chance to be intelligent or do we need the 20% to say it is truly human-like and therefore intelligent?

What you are fundamentally arguing is that mathematics can't and never will describe reality and that human mind is the definition of intelligence, when intelligence could be seen expressed at different levels of development in living things and in physical world itself. Like if you decouple consciousness from intelligence and especially from human like intelligence. one could say that intelligence is ability to find patterns and use those patterns to adapt to new situations. Using that definition we could call all sorts of chemical soups and living systems as intelligent.

Still needs to be cryo cooled, a "high temperature super conductor", just means it needs to be slightly less extremely cold. You're never going to find anything like that in a brain or biology in general.
>what if consciousness is a quantum effect?
consciousness is a strange phenomenon that is hard to understand
quantum physics is strange and the phenomena are also hard to understand
but there is no reason to think it's related, nothing points in that direction.

Ah lad there was an experiment done way back in the day with an early wassimit called those ICs that can be reconfigured where an evolutionary algorithm was set up to reconfigure it to optimize on something or other and they let it evolve away and it came up with a circuit with an unconnected section

When they took out the unconnected section it stopped working
Why?

Combine this with the recent research that suggests quantum effects are exploited in photosynthesis and It's pretty suggestive that something might be going on

Then there's Penrose

There is actually a decent chance you'll need a pretty powerful quantum computer to simulate a mind instead of a plain old Turing equivalent machine

the point is more that we don't know what intelligence is, which is what I've been saying all along
>What you are fundamentally arguing is that mathematics can't and never will describe reality
no, what I am saying is that it is not practically computable, assuming you could somehow "scan" an entire brain

leaving an unconnected stub likely has to do with RF effects which are relatively easy to understand. I mean it's still black magic, but it's black magic that can be FEM'd in a reasonable amount of time
t. someone who has done antenna simulations

anyway, all I can say is I'll be very surprised if anything approaching intelligence is ever developed. a socialist economy should not waste labour on it

Ayup good lad

Now computers would have been at least 3 orders of magnitude slower than the ones we have these days and the evolution was done on physical hardware

If that kind of evolution can come up with black magic, what can 4 billion years of it do

We know some photosynthesiser do quantum black magic to enhance their efficiency in their interactions with photons

What other quantum black magic might have evolved in life?

And yet you claimed that machine can never be intelligent. If we can agree that human intelligence rises from physical reality, then it is part of it and is computable if universe is computable. You seriously have to claim that there is something beyond physical reality that makes brains tick to make your argument work.

>no, what I am saying is that it is not practically computable

Are brains a subset of physical reality? Can brain be represented by a computable function if yes, then they are be computable by a Turing machine however slow it might be and since brain is finite there is no infinity to worry about regards computations. Also your quantum bullshit holds very little water regards to intelligence and even ultimate computability itself, people can represent quantum systems with a pencil and paper if they put enough effort in it. And since you can't really assume that brains are the only form of intelligence you have no argument here.

>Ah lad there was an experiment done way back in the day with an early wassimit called those ICs that can be reconfigured where an evolutionary algorithm was set up to reconfigure it to optimize on something or other and they let it evolve away and it came up with a circuit with an unconnected section, When they took out the unconnected section it stopped working Why?
If you want detailed explanations, give me a link to the circuits, but I'm going to guess that it was inductive or capacitive effects.

Nope that has been debunked, there is no quantum effects happening in photosynthesis.
>There is actually a decent chance you'll need a pretty powerful quantum computer to simulate a mind
No, current scientific understanding rules out quantum effects from playing any role in brains or biology. Outside of laboratories there are no known instances of quantum effects affecting the macroscopic world. This is why it is so damn hard to build quantum computers, they're machines that try to make quantum effects reach the macroscopic world. At best you are pointing at a really far fetched hypothesis that speculates about there being unknown quantum effects. But it's more likely that it's just pseudo science and you believe this because you want there to be mystery.

Well that's a terrible argument. Strange things aren't necessarily related to other strange things. I think that maybe we should treat consciousness as an illusion. From a materialist perspective there is self awareness and there is experience, but what people enthralled with consciousness mysticism are describing bears more resemblance to an act of a stage magician.

a dumb though highly efficient algorithm that mostly just looks for a a function that best approaches a local optima given a series of parameters and expected outputs is sentient, amazing stuff.

Unlikely, but even so the point was to prove in theory that machine can be intelligent.

Modern AI is in a symbiotic relationship with neurology, feeding off the latter's insight on how the brain is built, and in turn providing a test bed for hypotheses on how it actually works. All indications suggest that basic operation of neurons can in fact be modeled, if not (yet) outright simulated, in silico. (But it's very unlikely that you need to simulate the brain perfectly to achieve similar functionality, you only need to follow the general principles, and science is slowly but surely learning them.)

And this has proven highly successful and productive, and led to a bunch of breakthroughs in AI functionality during the last decade or so. In fact, the main problem with current fashion in research and its unwarranted optimism is that they're still high on their recent successes and refuse to accept their one simple trick can only take them so far. (What they're doing is refusing to accept the inherent structure and complexity of both the brain and the process of learning, and believe they can reproduce the results with simple, uniform neural networks with a bunch of data thrown at them. This is analogous to believing that if you can take human cells and make them divide and multiply in vitro, they will eventually grow into a whole human, rather than some kind of cancer lump.) Ironically, contrary to a lot of posts above, the actual problem with modern research is that they refuse to program even the most basic assumptions into their AI, assuming it can somehow self-organize and discover them by itself.
