Eliezer Yudkowsky:??There are no hard problems, only problems that are

Originally written: · Published here:

Eliezer Yudkowsky:??There are no hard problems, only problems that are hard to a certain level of intelligence. Move the smallest bit upwards [in intelligence] and some problems move from “impossible” to “obvious.” Move a substantial degree upwards, and all of them will become obvious.”

This new equation helps answer, explain, and predict …

  • Why is AI becoming so powerful?
  • Why is society advancing so quickly?
  • Where are we headed?

Exciting times.
