There's a phenomenon in AI training where you can compute a circle of strategies that continuously looks like it's improving. Imagine a game of rock paper scissors where the first strategy is to always play rock, which is beaten by the strategy to always play paper, which is beaten by scissors, which is beaten by rock. It looks as of our AI is always improving, but it ends up where it started. I think that the Flynn effect is a sort of example of this, where, by rotating the tasks we train and improve on we can constantly see improvement in our areas of focus without ever actually improving.
Interesting (and intelligent) discussion thread this. If you'd put the mic in front of me, I would have said that, if we appear to be getting smarter, it may be that we are getting less good at wisely defining what 'smart' might mean.
Really interesting and the kind of video that would tempt me to become a paying subscriber. But why is it necessary to have background music all the way through? And such annoying music at that. Why not also have dancing in the top left-hand corner for people who really aren't that interested in listening to the answers to the question?
That suggestion is an in-depth look at psychometric studies on the genetic influence of positive human traits, such as Integrity, intelligence, inquisitiveness, intuitiveness, insight, inspiration, imagination, etc. I realize these attributes are nebulous except in the case of intelligence, but I understand psychometricians are doing some research. Intelligence is the easiest to access.
The knowledge of the influence and the ability to enhance these traits will significantly benefit the long-term future of humanity.

Is there anyone brave enough to pick up the hereditarian baton and run with it in the woke post Jensen and Rushton world?
"world's most important conference on intelligence"
nah the other one is

I have a suggestion for a topic to explore.

Thanks for your consideration.
