I’d like to introduce myself. My name is David and I am an AGI enthusiast. My goal is to reverse engineer the brain in order to create AGI and to this end I’ve spent years studying neuroscience. I look forward to talking with you all about neuroscience and AGI.
Now I must admit: I disagree with this community’s prevailing opinions on the topic of AI-Doom. New technology is almost always “a good thing”. I think we all daydream about AGI, but whereas your fantasies may be dark and grim, mine are bright and utopian.
I’m also optimistic about my ability to succeed. Nature has provided us with intelligent lifeforms which we can probe and disect until we understand both life and intelligence. Technology has advanced to the point where this is within our reach. Here is a blog post I wrote in suport of this point.
As a final note I’d like express my distain for deep learning. It’s not biologically plausible. It does not operate on the same basic prinicples as intelligent life. Maybe with sufficient effort you could use deep learning to create AGI, but I suspect that in doing so you’d rediscover the same principles that are behind biological intelligence.
Meow Meow,
