  AI progress is jagged: models are becoming superhuman at math and software engineering while remaining far weaker at intuition, creativity, and other forms of human reasoning.

  Their words

  AI has always been very jagged, and we are making models which are superhuman goal-seekers at math and software engineering, but they have massive limitations on intuitions, creativity, and other types of reasoning that humans are strong at.

  Plain end-to-end learning is not enough for a safety-critical agent that has to be superhuman, however fast it gets you started.

  Their words

  But if you need to reach superhuman levels of performance in a fully autonomous agent in a safety-critical environment, uh, just doing kind of that basic vanilla end-to-end is not enough.

  Cameras alone are enough to approximately match a human driver, but weak sensing puts safety on a curve that flattens out well below superhuman.

  Their words

  However, if you are targeting full autonomy, and you're targeting superhuman, strongly superhuman performance, you find that weak sensing just leads to a safety curve that flattens out way too early.

  Confidence in a memory is not evidence of its accuracy, and our sense of how our own memory works is systematically wrong.

  Their words

  And sometimes confidence, high confidence doesn't necessarily mean high accuracy. And I think part of the reason we're fooled is usually, you know, the more you see something, the better you'll remember it, just like the Apple logo. But that's not always the case.

  A vastly superhuman intelligence would still not be able to talk people out of their beliefs, because humans are barely persuadable.

  Their words, before

  I suspect that if you decided to be open-minded, then the Being would probably be extremely persuasive. But I don’t think it’s very common to do that.

  Their words now

  I take it back. Instead of being unsure, I now lean strongly towards the idea that the Being would in fact be very good at convincing people of stuff, and far better than any human.

  The best-known brands each stand for one clear thing, so a startup has to occupy a position that is unique, still available, and a reinforcement of its product strategy.

  Superhuman persuasion will arrive before superhuman intelligence, which means whoever builds a model can embed their ideals in it long before anyone reaches AGI.

  Their words

  There's this very good quote from Sam Altman who... He can be a hyperbeast sometimes, but one of the things he said, and I think I agree, is that superhuman persuasion will happen before superhuman intelligence, right? And if that's the case, then these things before we get this AGI ASI stuff, we can embed superhuman persuasion towards our ideal or whatever the ideal of the model maker is, right?
