My proposed solution to an AGI utility function in order to ensure its values are aligned with ours so we survive the intelligence explosion - The 3 laws of AGI: 1. Minimise harm/permanent trauma; 2. Subject to 1, maximise consciousness/free will (i.e. the ability for conscious entity to freely choose and take action to accomplish its complex goals including the experience of more complex and/or ecstatic conscious states); and 3. Subject to 1, maximise intelligence (i.e. ability to determine the action required to achieve a complex goal). Of course - definitions will be the tricky one (particularly how to define harm/trauma). There is a risk this will evolve as subjective values evolve. But ideally should be objectively measurable as possible (eg most people can agree being healthy is better than being diseased and is possible to objectively measure the absence of disease). Would be interested if anyone can break these (like Asimov’s laws of robotics which were just a writing prompt not to be taken seriously). We really really need to be working on getting this right before the first AGI gets the ability to improve its general intelligence. Or we are all fucked (unless we can successfully contain it or ensure controlled intelligence explosion, which might be impossible given multiple competing state actors with an incentive to gain the first mover advantage).

The past few days I’ve watched nothing but videos on AI and it’s nice to hear some positive things. I’ve pretty much prepared that it could be great, or could be the end. But the end will come no matter what, and I’m not as scared as I was. These are interesting times indeed. “The future’s uncertain and the end is always near.” If we live to see it happen either way, it’s been an honor to be on this planet and share my life with the rest of you. Not bad for some brainy chimps. Cheers to the future.

I love the dialogue about consciousness in AI. It's an important question because consciousness gives motivation. That changes the game if your AI can be motivated not artificially, by algorithms or programatically, but through a dynamic set of circumstances that will ultimately be up to the AI to determine.

Love your recent podcasts lex, and the high quality guests. I wanted to see your origin in this first episode and let me say that for some reason I prefer this intro (you in a dress shirt) in a well lit room much better than your current in suit with curtains behind intros. It just seems more comfortable and like I'm in your home. Idk just my 2 cents in possibly making your intro closer to this original style. Great podcast, loved the one with Vitalik and Carlin particularly!

Mr Tegmark's voice must be the most youthful voice I've ever heard, considering he is at his 50's. I know that his enthusiasm and well-mannered tone is a plus, of course. But, still, quite remarkable to me.

@11:42 As someone who is dyslexic I would describe the act of reading as a very conscious activity, looking for patterns in the words and matching them to known sounds. I go through lots of little rules like its a "d" if its at the foot of the "bed" or a "b" if its at the head. This got me thinking, is this just me? or would other dyslexic people describe reading as a conscious activity versus an unconscious one. If so what would that mean? I guess as we get closer to solving AGI these sorts of observations about our own intelligence will get illuminated.

@ninadesianti9587 3 жыл бұрын

I might be wrong, but I can see Lex is much more excited when he started this podcast or more expressive. Maybe 2020 is tiring for everyone. I hope 2021 will treat us great! One thing that didn’t change: his genuine curiosity about life, love, intelligence, science, and humanity. His unique personality contributed to the success of his podcast. No one can copy that. And if people say that podcast is about the guests, well, not really, it’s about the host also, the interactions could extract a different perspective from both. If I want to get deeper into a topic presented by an expert, I will read his or her publications, books, or essays. I think podcast is about sharing and exploring interesting novel ideas that are not mainstream or popular, which I really appreciate. Sometimes the guests are perplexed by Lex’s unusual questions, but that’s also interesting and entertaining. Some parts of the conversation are repeated in the second interview, it’s interesting to see that they are still thinking about it and hold the same conclusions. Stay awesome, Lex! I love you 3000!
