(Memory Access + Correlation Skills) is a decent proxy for several of the many kinds of human intelligence.

HDDs don't have correlation skills, but LLMs do. They're just not smart-human-level "good", yet.

I am not sure whether I believe AGI will happen. To be meaningful, it would have to be above the level of a smart human.

Building an army of disincorporated average-human-intelligence actors would be economically "productive" though. This is the future I see us trending toward today.

Most humans are not special. This is dystopian, of course. Not in the "machines raise humans for energy" sort of way, but probably no less socially destructive.

So which is it, the memory or the correlation? I'll give you a hint, this is a trick question.

  • I never suggested that it was one or the other.

    I think it's very obviously both.

    (and these two qualities are likely necessary, but not sufficient)
