THE GREY ZONE. "A recursively self-improving AI could transform itself into a superintelligent machine." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn

CULTURAL EVOLUTION. "Once culture originates, it has the capacity to evolve on its own, and the past century has shown an explosion of technological culture, including notably the creation of computing machines and complex distributed informational networks connecting them." https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn

FINAL ACT. "There's a saying among futurists that a human-equivalent artificial intelligence will be our last invention. After that, AIs will be capable of designing virtually anything on their own — including themselves." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn

NON-ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION. "Genome complexity is correlated with biological complexity. A recent paper by Michael Lynch proposes that evolution of complex genomic architecture was driven primarily by non-adaptive stochastic forces, rather than by adaptive evolution. A general negative relationship between selection efficiency and genome complexity provides a strong support for this hypothesis." https://lnkd.in/ePaUq-z View in LinkedIn

RULES. “Domain-Specific Languages are about as close as we'll ever get. You will always have to give the computer some rules to work with. But the more those rules are defined in a manner specific to their domain, the less input there will have to be." https://lnkd.in/dsxKTtK View in LinkedIn

EXPONENTIAL SMARTS. "Once sophisticated enough, an AI will be able to engage in what's called "recursive self-improvement." As an AI becomes smarter and more capable, it will subsequently become better at the task of developing its internal cognitive functions." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn

GÖDEL'S NUMBERS. "Andrew Hodges, Turing’s biographer, describes certain aspects of the “universal machine”:"…underneath here lay the same powerful idea that Gödel had used, that there was no essential distinction between “numbers” and operations on numbers. From a modern mathematical point of view, they were all alike symbols. With this done, it followed that one particular machine could simulate the work done by any machine." https://lnkd.in/dCVHq5S View in LinkedIn

UNIVERSAL MACHINE. "Since the description of the machine can itself be expressed as a sequence of symbols, Turing went on to describe a universal machine which can read the description of any specific machine and then carry out the computation it describes." https://lnkd.in/d854b7f View in LinkedIn

ESCHER'S DRAWING HAND. "The idea of programs that write programs is inherent in the concept of the universal Turing machine, set forth by Alan M. Turing in 1936. He showed that any computation can be described in terms of a machine shifting among a finite number of states in response to a sequence of symbols read and written one at a time on a potentially infinite tape." https://lnkd.in/d854b7f View in LinkedIn

SMALL BEGINNINGS. "Code that's capable of altering its own instructions while it's still executing has been around for a while. Typically, it's done to reduce the instruction path length and improve performance, or to simply reduce repetitively similar code. But for all intents and purposes, there are no self-aware, self-improving AI systems today." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn
