Forgotten Dream

2017.03.23 by Jess Leave a Comment

Letting yourself remember, forgetting to forget—is such a thing possible, the latter? Does such imply an effect of remembering (which seems correct, to be honest; it seems more likely that things are always-remembered rather than typically-forgotten) as natural?

7 Reasons Not to Fear Evil AI

2013.05.11 by Jess Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about evil artificial intelligence. From Terminator to The Matrix, humans have feared computers taking over the world. I think there are great reasons why that’s unlikely: 1. Intelligence is hard to model. 2. Self-improving intelligence may be even harder. 3. Intelligence requires cooperation. 4. Intelligence grows. It is not a switch that is … [Read more…]

Bootstrapping Human Intelligence

2013.04.20 by Jess 1 Comment
