🧵02/34 Job-Loss and Emerging Capabilities --- Whenever we’ve built a machine to solve a specific problem … the machine outperformed humans every time … And that’s worked out great for us, vastly improved our lives and allowed us to use our muscles less and our brains more But AGI will be different. AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence And being general means that it will be able to learn everything and outperform humans at every single job, even the ones that rely on using our brain It doesn’t exist today but it is just around the corner. Recently, progress has been exponential … And never before has the field of AI seen such sky-high levels of excitement and such ginormous vast amounts of investment. So far, frontier AI has existed mostly in cloud servers and interacted with the physical world via prompting online. But a new gold rush is currently exploding, in the sector of robotics. The knowhow for creating mechanical limbs and bodies has been here for decades. What was missing was an Artificial General mind to control them, and that is now within our grasp. Once AGI arrives, we should expect AGI bodies in the physical world to also arrive immediately. Microsoft researchers Famously claimed that GPT4, one of the latest models, has been exhibiting sparks of General intelligence. Just by scaling up the size of data and parameters, without any other major change or innovation, unexpected emerging capabilities and generality in unforeseen new domains manifested themselves that surprised everyone.
