OK that’s fair, I didn’t really answer Jon’s question.
So: What makes an AI algorithm brain-like for present purposes? Probably the biggest single thing is whether it’s an actor-critic model-based RL algorithm. If yes, there’s a good chance that some of the things I talk about in this series will be at least somewhat applicable to it. If no, probably not.
But I’m not too sure and wouldn’t want to make any promises. “Actor-critic model-based RL” is AFAIK a big diverse group of a thousand different models that work in a thousand different ways. Probably all of them have some kinds of safety-relevant differences from what I’m gonna talk about. But it’s hard for me to say anything in general.
