GPT Models are Brilliant Storytellers.

In this episode of 'This Is AGI', Alex Chadyuk explores the difference between episodic and semantic memory, and explains why today’s generative AI excels at narrative recall but lacks true world models.

We take objects, classes, and relationships for granted, but they are just conventions, not truths carved into reality. Let's explore why these conventions matter, and why guiding AGI to adopt them may be the difference between an intelligible AI world model and the one we can’t understand at all.

If we are given only one thing that we can teach a super-intelligent being, this should be an appreciation of complexity. Then it will not try to kill us because we look different, pray in a different gospel, consume too much energy, or simply not clever enough. youtu.be/RfOmArsSBHc

As a species, we do not have evolutionary siblings. Genus homo has only one member: homo sapiens. Genus panther has five. When we are succeeded by the next most intelligent species, an embodied AGI, things may not work out too well for us.

Hallucinating LLMs are a critical step towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). We should not try to fix them but instead build more complex agents that will channel the LLMs’ runaway creativity into self-perpetuating cycles of knowledge discovery.

Sam Altman can say: “You can choose to deploy 5GW of compute to cure cancer or you can choose to offer free education to everybody on Earth” as a moral justification for burning another 10GW of compute, while leaving him under no obligation to either cure cancer or provide education to anybody.
