AGI: a theoretical superintelligence better than humans at nearly any task (being my wife)

and how will you recognize this "AGI" when you invent it, hmm?
"it will instantly realize the correctness of all my opinions and arguments and then congratulate me for being so smart"
oh, ok

"intelligence" is the scientific measure of how much someone else agrees with my opinions

@ana at which point all the tech bros will realize none of them agree on what AGI is and the cage fight will finally happen?

@secretsloth maybe i'm old school but i think you need a good working definition of something before you can seriously pursue it

@burnoutqueen haha indeed

@ana I also just feel like computers work differently from brains? So even if they achieve sentience, they would just be different? I guess I don't understand the obsession with comparing all other intelligence to that of people as though humans are *it.* there are tons of animals out there and they're intelligent, and they're just living their best life out there. We still don't understand their minds. Why do we assume we would understand this any better? Why can't it just live its best life?

@ana yeah we were reading excerpts from that one guy's transcript and we were thinking, the whole time...
so this is clearly how he would speak to any younger woman who admired him, and that's kind of creepy

@secretsloth totally. we're constantly assuming that our brains are just slightly more complicated versions of the most advanced machines we've created up to that point and we're always wrong because there is so much we don't understand at all

@jargoggles whoops! *unplugs* dodged a bullet there, that was one of the dangerous ones

@ireneista they're constantly telling on themselves and don't have the self-awareness to realize it

@ana very much agreed

I hate Nerds, so, so, so very much, and refuse to be identified as one.

@ana To the techbro, the difference between men and women is that a man’s intelligence is an independent property, while a woman’s intelligence is dependent upon his interest in her.

@ana I think we're talking tech bro here, I'm a bit of a nerd and I'm pretty indifferent on whether women like me or not.

@ana yeah, and I'm all for learning and studying and science, but it is also okay to not 100% understand things. There is wonder in mysteries and there is something really amazing in having a connection with an animal friend even though we don't share a spoken language, we still communicate, we understand each other in a way. Sigh. I guess the technocrats with boundary issues probably wouldn't understand that.
