  on: Re­cap of my last month of AI street interviews

  Hey Charlie, you’re a legend for this. One thing I will add is for easy video editing is to use CapCut and then auto-generate subtitles. You can export to 1080p and that gives the quality people are used to seeing for your types of videos.

  Not going to lie, a few vids were grainy and almost all of them didn’t fit the frame. This is an easy fix if you can spare $10 a month to edit on CapCut.

  on: What Differ­en­ti­ates Hu­mans from Computers

  On your part about ingenuity, I immediately thought about AIs making up new languages to communicate—possibly to hide their work from human supervisors, but possibly to invent more efficient ways to reference recognized patterns. Are they adding anything new when they do this? And a similar question: Does Newton add anything when he recognizes and proves gravity via math?

  If AIs mirror human reasoning, and intelligence is nothing but recognizing causal structures and predicting the next best result, adding things over and above causality is only connecting to what actually exists. New experiences add to causal web, so experiencing novelty will be a very important part to creating superintelligence.
