I guess the basic answer to my question is that you’re quite motivated by biological plausibility. There are many reasons why this might be, so I shouldn’t guess at the specific motives.
You’re right. I want to know how my own brain works.
But if you’re more interested in a broader mathematical understanding of how intelligence, in general, works, then that could explain some of our motivational disconnect.
An important question is whether PP contains some secrets of intelligence which are critical for AI alignment. I think some intelligent people think the answer is yes. But the biological motivation doesn’t especially point to this (I think). If you have any arguments for such a conclusion I would be curious to hear it.
Maybe? It depends a lot on how I interpret your question. I’m trying to keep these posts contained and so I’d rather not answer that question in this thread.
