“Only six weeks after I heard about Neuralink for the first time, I decided that the boldness of the project and the grandeur of the mission would have eclipsed both Tesla and SpaceX. The two companies are trying to define what humans will do in the future, Neuralink. It is intended to define what the future human being is."
This is a passage from the famous technology writer TIm Urban on ChangButWhy. This article details the grand blueprints of Elon Musk's "Computer Interface" and Neuralink, including an in-depth introduction to brain research.
Elon Musk said that super artificial intelligence is bound to be realized, and humans have only one choice: to become an AI. He believes that the brain-integrated AI system will exist in the same way as the human instinct brain and the rational brain. The human brain and the computer will merge, and humans can't even detect themselves using AI thinking.
Although today's article sharing is somewhat long, the full text runs through funny and logically clear pictures. The style of writing is also the humorous and humorous language that Urban has always been in and out of, and I hope to inspire you. Below, Enjoy:
First, humans have only one choice: become the AI ​​- the macro of Elon
In many cases, it is a good strategy to take the risk to get the best results, but when the stakes are too high, it is better to be cautious. The same is true of rights. That's why Elon sees AI as the ultimate right, and therefore believes that its development requires a cautious attitude. What he holds is the one that minimizes the AI's threat to humanity.
In order to promote this concept in the AI ​​field, Elon has made various efforts from different angles.
He and Sam Altman founded OpenAI, which is described as "a non-profit AI research company dedicated to developing and developing a path to universal security for intelligent intelligence."
Often, when humans create new things, they are always led by some innovative pioneers. After the success of the attempt, with the birth of an industry, the giants of those enterprises will participate and fully develop the efforts of the pioneers.
But if those first movers make a wand, this wand will give the person who masters it the supreme, indestructible right over all, and even prevent anyone else from making the right to make a wand. This is a bit tricky, right?
In the eyes of Elon, the direction of AI development today is the above situation. Since it is impossible to prevent humans from creating wands, his solution is to create an open, cooperative, and transparent wand development lab. Whenever a new research breakthrough is created in this lab, unlike other companies that would treat this as a secret, they will publish this breakthrough to everyone to understand or use for their own research and development.
On the one hand, there are obvious disadvantages to doing this. Evil forces are also trying to make wands, and no one wants the first wand to be born from them. Today, bad people's research can also benefit from the innovations of this laboratory. It is really worrying.
But the lab also promoted the research of thousands of others and formed a huge competition for a small number of early pioneers. It is impossible for some people to make wands sharply before others. What is more likely to happen is that when the first real wand is finally manufactured, there are already thousands of similar finished products at the same time, that is, with different abilities, created by different people, and used for multiple purposes. Other wands.
If the magic wand is to be born on Earth, Elon believes that at least it is in the hands of most people around the world, not a magician with totalitarian power. He said this: If everyone comes from the planet, there is nothing wrong with it. But if there is only one superman, and this superman is also Hitler's possession, the trouble is big. To make matters worse, the wand of a forerunner is likely to be created based on his satisfaction with his own needs. If the future of the wand industry is developed as a result of collective intelligence, a variety of needs and purposes should have a corresponding wand to satisfy. The ability of the world's wand should be the first to reflect the needs of the public.
Nikola Tesla, Henry Ford, Wright Brothers and Alan Turing all led the industrial revolution, which is no problem. But when the things being created will have unimaginable totalitarianism, we can't stand by and the risks will be difficult to control.
Elon concludes that AI will dramatically exceed human capabilities. In order for its existence to be connected with the will of human beings, especially the vast majority of human beings, it should be based on the will of the majority, as it will serve the will of these people.
The rest is the "people's" part.
This part should be easier to solve. Don't forget that the industry giants are creating the super-intelligent AI based on the same purpose they create cars, large machines and computers—that is, expanding their boundaries and outsourcing the work that will be generated. A car is a means of transportation, a large machine is a manufacturing tool, and a computer solves the problem of information storage, management, and calculation. Computers with thinking skills will be great creations that enable humans to outsource the most important and intense work. On the whole of human beings' construction and thinking, imagine the enormous energy that will be brought about by the creation of a super-intelligence that extends the power of human thinking. The extension of human beings also belongs to human beings by definition, that is, "the people have."
There is only one problem: AI with super power is different from other inventions. Other technologies are good at their own manufacturing purposes, but in general they are just unconscious machines with very limited intelligence. But the AI ​​we are trying to make now will be as smart and super smart as humans. How can the same rules apply?
The technology that human beings create themselves is of course human. This view is so obvious that it is a bit silly to say. But if we create something smarter than ourselves, can it be so easily controlled?
Is there such a possibility that a created thing whose intelligence is higher than any human being will not be satisfied to exist only as a vassal of human beings, even if it is created for the purpose?
We can't predict the scenario of implementation, but the insurance practice is now admitted, yes, these possibilities exist. Once the fear becomes a reality, our troubles will be great.
The history of human development shows that once there is a species on Earth that is much more intelligent than other species, it will pose a threat to all other species. If AI becomes such a supreme intelligent species, and it is not human, it is self-aware, then we humans are classified as "all other species".
Therefore, monopoly AI is the problem, and OpenAI is committed to solving this problem. But the more serious problem is to prevent AI from getting out of control.
Elon turned to the side for this. In his view, the rise of super-smart AI is only a matter of time. Before that day, it is necessary for human beings to avoid falling into the "all other species" situation. In the future where AI coexists with all other species, in his view, humans have only one choice: to become an AI.
Elon likens the human brain's digital terTIary layer to a witch hat. The concept is that the whole brain interface will become like implanting a device into the brain, turning the brain into a device.
Second, the AI ​​system will merge with the brain.
Your device gives you the super-power of a semi-robot and acts as a window to the digital world. The electrode array of the wizard's cap is a new brain structure that juxtaposes the limbic system and the cerebral cortex. (For an introduction to basic structures such as the limbic system and the cerebral cortex, see below.)
But the limbic system, the cerebral cortex and the wizard's cap are just hardware systems. When the edge system is working, it is not the physical system that interacts with you, but the flow of information between them. This is an activity within the physical system that is reflected in consciousness, making you feel angry, fearful, hungry or hungry.
The cerebral cortex is the same. The material that wraps around your brain stores and manages information, but when you think, observe, listen, or feel, you experience the information itself. The visual cortex itself has no effect on you, and the photon information flow in it brings you a visual cortex experience. When you dig into your memory, you are not looking for neurons, but searching for information stored in neurons.
The limbic system and cortex are just gray matter in the brain. It is the flow of activity between the gray matter that forms the inner characteristics that you are familiar with, the animal's instinctive brain and the human rational brain. So what does this mean for the digital triple cell wall? This means that despite the physical devices present in the brain, the electrode array itself, the component of the three cell walls that you will experience and understand, is the information flowing between the arrays.
Just as the feelings and desires produced by the limbic system and the thoughts and whispers produced by the cerebral cortex are as part of you as you are, your inner beings, all the activities that take place in the wizard's hat will bring the same feelings.
Elon's vision for Wizard Era is just one of the wizard hat applications, one of which is to use it as an interface between the brain and cloud-based custom AI systems. He believes that this AI system will exist in the same way as your animal's instinctive brain and human rational brain.
He said this: It is conceivable that there may be a way for the three cell walls to feel that it is part of human beings. It is not an object to uninstall, it is you.
It makes sense to write it down. You use the cerebral cortex to do most of the thinking, but when you are hungry, you don't say "my edge system is hungry," but "I am hungry." By the same token, Elon believes that when you solve the problem, AI gives the solution, you won't say: "My AI thought of it!", and would say: "I thought of it!" When your edge system wants to be lazy, And when your cerebral cortex wants to work (I often have this experience), you don't feel that you are fighting some external forces, but you want to be strict with yourself. In the same way, when you adopt certain strategies, and your AI objects, the real disagreements and arguments will happen, but this feeling is also a kind of inner struggle of the self, not generated in your thinking. The other party is arguing. This kind of argument feels the same as thinking.
In short, it is quite reasonable to write it down.
But when I first heard about Elon talking about this concept, I didn't think it was right. No matter how hard I try to understand, I can't help but apply it with the concepts I am familiar with. For example, this is similar to an AI system in my brain that can hear it, or even think together. In these scenarios, this AI looks like an external system that communicates with me, not like me.
Then one night, when I was rereading some of the comments before Elon, I realized it. AI can be me, completely. I understand.
But then I didn't understand it. The next day, when I tried to explain my epiphany to another friend, I fainted both of us. I went back to hold "Wait, this AI can't really be me, it will be in the realm of communicating with me." Since then, my thoughts have been repeated and there has been no end. This state is similar to that of a moment, time becomes relative, and time and space is only a single layer. There seems to be an instinct for a moment, time is slowing and you become very fast. Then I lost again. When I wrote the above sentences, my intuition did not exist.
The hardest part of becoming an AI is that it combines two unconscious concepts: the brain interface and the brain interface can give you the power and general artificial intelligence. Today's humans do not yet have the knowledge to understand any of them. Whether we think we have a lot of imagination, our imagination is based only on our survival experience, and the above concepts are new to us. It's like trying to imagine a color that I have never seen before.
That's why when Elon talks about his beliefs, I am jealous between conviction and blind obedience. But considering that he understood the concept of time and space at the age of seven and know how to colonize Mars, I tend to hear more about what he said.
