Do you think that accomplishments, when present, are fairly accurate proof of intelligence (and that you are skeptical of claims thereto without said proof), but that intelligence can sometimes exist in their absence; or do you claim something stronger?
Eliezer invoked the notion of intelligent insanity in response to Aumann’s approach to the absent-minded driver problem. In this case, what was Aumann efficiently optimizing in spite of his own wishes?
“Do you think that accomplishments, when present, are fairly accurate proof of intelligence (and that you are skeptical of claims thereto without said proof)”
Couldn’t have said it better myself. The only addition would be that IQ is an insufficient measure although it can be useful when combined with accomplishment.
What do you think “intelligence” is?
Do you think that accomplishments, when present, are fairly accurate proof of intelligence (and that you are skeptical of claims thereto without said proof), but that intelligence can sometimes exist in their absence; or do you claim something stronger?
Previously, Eliezer has said that intelligence is efficient optimization.
I have trouble meshing this definition with the concept of intelligent insanity.
Intelligently insane efficiently optimize stuff in the way they don’t want it optimized.
