Complexity in AI, Human Thought, and Phenomena in Quantum Mechanics

For these three things, it’s possible that there are patterns, definitive patterns that will tell you exactly what each will do in a given situation, but we’re too simple minded to see them. These patterns may not be apparent to us from a logical standpoint, but also from a dimensional standpoint.

Look into the possibility that subatomic information can travel through time. This seems ridiculous, unless time is a dimension more or less like the three dimensions that we move in, in which case there’s nothing remarkable that certain kinds of things can travel back and forth within it.

To be clear, I’m not saying that the patterns of each of these three things are necessarily related to each other in any meaningful way. Just that they all might have definitive patterns.

Someone, I think Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (ChatGPT) in an interview with Lex Fridman (whose awesome, you should check him out) was saying that there’s some threshold that AI needs to cross, at which point it becomes artificial general intelligence (AGI), where it basically has the intellectual capacity of a human. I think a lot of people think like this, but this idea of a threshold is ridiculous to me. I think it’s a spectrum. And people, AI, dogs, washing machines, bacteria, etc. are all somewhere on this spectrum. And everywhere on this spectrum, there are patterns that differ only in their degree of complexity.
