On Intelligence: The Gap Where Safety Is Decided
There is a beautiful, settled theory of intelligence, and there are the crude systems we shipped. The distance between them is where safety is actually decided.

There is a beautiful, settled theory of intelligence, and there are the crude systems we shipped. The distance between them is where safety is actually decided.
We taught sand to think. We did it before we learned to say what we wanted it to do. There is a real, settled, and genuinely beautiful theory of what intelligence is: Bayes' theorem, Solomonoff's universal prior, and expected-utility maximization, …
Why the simplest forms of learning are incomputable, and what that means for the intelligence we can build.
