    Where’s the “intelligence explosion”?

    noahpinion.blog · curated by @knownquantity

    This webpage features an essay by futurist Ramez Naam on Noahpinion, where he offers a skeptical take on the concept of an AI "intelligence explosion" driven by recursive self-improvement. While many in the AI industry expect a sudden "fast takeoff" to superintelligence as models begin improving themselves, Naam argues that current data shows the self-improvement feedback loop is not yet strong enough to sustain a runaway singularity.

    Bruce Schneier argues that “hacking” applies to any rule-based system, not just software, and that AI is increasingly good at finding and exploiting these hidden loopholes in code, regulations, markets, and even politics. He warns that AI can be used to hack systems intentionally, but more dangerously, it may also discover unintended exploits on its own through reward hacking and other forms of autonomous problem-solving.
