There’s a guaranteed path to AGI, but it’s blocked behind computational complexity. Finding an efficient algorithm to simulate Quantum Mechanics should be top priority for those seeking AGI. A more promising way around it is using Quantum Computing, but we’ll have to wait for that to become good enough..
Required energy density at the necessary scale will be your next hurdle.
Once you have the efficient algorithm you approximate asymptotically with the energy you have, of course you can’t obtain the same precision
Or speed. I think Frank Herbert was on to something in Dune. The energy efficiency of the human brain is hard to beat. Perhaps we should invest in discovering "spice." I think it might be more worthwhile.
Okay, enough eggnog and posting.
That would arguably not be artificial intelligence, but rather simulated natural intelligence.
It also seems orders of magnitude less resource efficient than higher-level approaches.
What’s the difference? Arguably the latter will be better IMO than the former
How many orders of magnitude? Nearly as many as it would be less efficient?
It’s like comparing apples and oranges
How would simulating quantum mechanics help with AGI?
My guess is they believe in the Penrose idea that consciousness has something to do with quantum mechanics
Obviously, quantum supremacy is semiologically orthogonal to AGI (Artificial General Inteligence) ontological recursive synapses... this is trivial.
now buy the stock
By simulating it
What exactly should get simulated and how do you think quantum mechanics will help with this?
At least the solar system I would say. Quantum mechanics will help you do that in the correct way to obtain what Nature already obtained: general intelligence.
