AUTHORED ON GITHUB

Built with AI

How do Humans learn?
How did we evolve society?
Where does Machine Learning come from?

 

Glad you asked!

dashersw

AGI isn't a monumental leap.

AGI is an emergent property.

dashersw

Large Language Models aren't AGI.

dashersw

They are a complex statistical model for predicting the next word after a given series of words.

dashersw

Let's take a step back.

dashersw

Intelligence

dashersw

Ability to learn, adapt, reason, solve problems, plan and comprehend complex ideas.


perception, abstraction, logic, understanding, learning, memory, critical thinking,
and problem-solving

Intelligence

dashersw

Adaptation to Environment

Reasoning and Problem-Solving

Learning and Memory

Skilled Use of Knowledge

ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE

dashersw

AI that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks

AUTONOMOUS

dashersw

Acting independently or without human intervention

AGENT

dashersw

An entity that perceives its environment, makes decisions, and takes actions

COLLABORATION

dashersw

Multiple entities working together to achieve a common goal

multi-agent systems

dashersw

Operate independently
Interact with their environment
Communicate and cooperate with other agents
Learn and adapt based on their experiences

imitate intelligence with next-token prediction

dashersw

CAN YOU OR HOW DO YOU

HOW DOES ONE
CATCH A BALL?

dashersw

Visual Processing
Occipital lobe processes visual information.

Movement Planning
Parietal lobe and premotor cortex plan movement.

Execution of Movement
Primary motor cortex sends signals to muscles.

Coordination and Balance
Cerebellum ensures smooth movement.

Sensory Feedback
Somatosensory cortex adjusts grip.

If the human brain’s
distributed structure can yield general intelligence,
why can’t a sufficiently advanced multi-agent system
achieve the same?

EMERGENCE,
Emergent Behavior and Complex Systems

dashersw

Atoms form molecules, molecules form cells,
cells form organisms

each level exhibits new, emergent properties.

dashersw

dashersw

dashersw

If emergent properties in nature can lead to life and consciousness, couldn’t the emergent behaviors of MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS lead to AGI?

GESTALT

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

dashersw

GESTALT

individual agents working together can achieve far more than they could separately.

coordinated actions lead to emergent behavior and intelligence.

dashersw

Technically speaking...

dashersw

We are scraping the surface of GPT-4 or Claude 3.5 Sonnet

dashersw

We need to understand and develop what reasoning means.

dashersw

Memory, insights, habits

dashersw

specialization

dashersw

what if questions

dashersw

what if English isn't the best language to prompt these agents?

dashersw

How do Humans learn?
How did we evolve society?
Where does Machine Learning come from?
