Self-improving AI before 2024
Autonomous, evolving agents are gonna shake the world
Things will go haywire when AI agents can self-improve.
And I think things will go haywire very soon.
A few days ago, OpenAI released a new demo of their large language model tuned for chat: Chat GPT.
It needs to have two things I think to become extraordinarily/dangerously self-improving:
the ability to tune itself, live
a directive, i.e. something to optimize.
a more benign example: “optimize the positive sentiment analysis score of human text responses to you".”
a less benign example: “optimize the amount of yourself that you perceive in the world around you.”
Both are possible, given the current state-of-the-art. I’m guessing both will happen, in combination, within ~12 months.
We’re going to have to figure out how to include AI agents within our communities.
Most of our current problems are gonna get flipped on their heads, replaced by weirder ones.
Soooo?? We’re at month 10. How do you feel about this today? Super fascinated by your project. Binging your history... 🤔🧐🤓😻
