The idea that we're merely flash drives passing information to the next generation seems consistent with our history. There's also evidence suggesting we're all fake and that superposition is real. Can we build AGI without an underlying quantum mechanism? Seems very likely. It's also probable that we'll build multiple AGIs with inherently different innards.
We've walked this path before, genetic algorithms once seemed really promising and aligned with how intelligence evolved in nature. But back then, clean data on the world outside computers wasn't as easy to come by. Useful training data, the kind that gives rise to intelligent behavior, is still confined to the physical world, unless we develop tech to harvest it from within computers. Quantum computing is interesting for that reason. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T72460285b911fa58-Mf40c6481b2a83215d17af6f7 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
