We can discuss more, I think I know how we will “get there from here” in broad strokes. I don’t think it will be done by someone writing a relatively simple algorithm and getting a sudden breakthrough that allows for sentience, I think it will be done by using well defined narrow domain agents that each do something extremely well—and by building higher level agents on top of this foundation in a series of layers, over years to decades, until you reach the level of abstraction of “modify thy own code to be more productive”.
I’d be interested to hear more about this. It sounds like this could maybe happen pretty soon with large, general language models like GPT-3 + prompt programming + a bit of RL.
