Yes, but I didn’t mean to ask whether it’s relevant, I meant to ask whether it’s accurate. Does the output of language models, in fact, feel like this? Seemed like something relevant to ask you since you’ve seen lots of text completions.
And if it does, what is the reason for not having long timelines? If neural networks only solved the easy part of the problem, that implies that they’re a much smaller step toward AGI than many argued recently.
I said it was an analogy. You were discussing what intelligent human-level entities with inhibition control problems would hypothetically look like; well, as it happens, we do have such entities, in the form of sociopaths, and as it happens, they do not simply explode in every direction due to lacking inhibitions but often perform at high levels manipulating other humans until suddenly then they explode. This is proof of concept that you can naturally get such streaky performance without any kind of exotic setup or design. Seems relevant to mention.
