Naval Ravikant argues achieving AGI requires replicating the human capacity to make non-random leaps through search spaces

Steve Jurvetson compared this to deep learning physics

@FutureJurvetson @seanboisselle True, not blind guesses - that’s what differentiates human creativity from AIs (to date) and from evolution. Humans can cut through the search space and make broad leaps, and nobody knows how. Mysterious creativity… if we can create the algorithm for that, then we have AGI.

@naval @seanboisselle But Feynman was being humble. It’s clearly not a random guess as the search space would be too large, and progress would accrue evenly across all people making “guesses.”

@naval @seanboisselle Our “mysterious” simplification of the search space reminds me of the embedded power of deep learning—a resonant homology across diverse hierarchies of iterative algorithms: https://flic.kr/p/LvGhLU

@naval @FutureJurvetson @seanboisselle The human intuition and creativity may be sacred things. “Endowed by God”.

@naval @FutureJurvetson @seanboisselle That's why we all have to be optimistic about future progress Keeping in mind that every human is a lottery ticket on a fundamental breakthrough
