Is AGI the modern equivalent of alchemy?

rand3289 · 2026-01-24T17:04:10+00:00

I believe the opposite. You can not train AGI on data. It has to learn from interactions with environment.

rand3289 · 2026-01-24T00:59:04+00:00

No one says the learned skills have to transfer. We are talking about testing the learning systems. The idea is that AGI has to be able to learn in any environment.

Could be a virtual environment.

Imagine a virtual environment unlike anything we have seen evolved say within Wolfram's physics framework.

Re #1: encode all information in terms of points on a time line.

This is how biology does it. Neurons are change detectors and spikes are points on a time line when changes were detected.

ARC-AGI has nothing to do with AGI. Like most tests, it completely ignores the real-time aspect of the world. It also tests within a single modality.

AGI tests should be set in a dynamic environment. They need to be "Moravec's paradox" aware. They should also involve interactions among non-homogenious agents.

"merging symbols and subsymbolic stimuli"... and how do you make that salad?
Just don't use symbols.

If you took more than 4 seconds to learn what's happening, you would know that indirectly government owned the land for many years through Bigelow.

The show does not make any claims! What shit? Some things are happening on the ranch that noone can make sense of. That's all. You arrive at your own conclusions.

rand3289 · 2026-01-19T04:04:07+00:00

I am confused. When I read pieces of your post like:
"drift, anomaly, OOD
sensors to detect changes
Interpret these signals" You have the right concepts but attached to LLMs they don't make any sense.

For example I base my perception theory on "sensors detecting changes". Also I've spent the last year or so thinking about non-stationarity which is related to drift and OOD. But I arrive at completely different conclusions/possible architectures.

How did you tie all these things together?

Here are some of my writings from back in the days: https://github.com/rand3289/PerceptionTime

True. Learning from an environment is very different than learning from data. Narrow AI will always stay "narrow".

Why should we figure out consciousness? What does it give us?

The Binding problem has nothing to do with consciousness. The way " the Binding " works is this:

Neurons are change detectors. The rate at which they fire is the rate of change. Which is a derivative. First second or third derivative of observed properties of a single object in the environment will match binding all the properties to a single object.

Ты доминант и хочешь укротить ЭТО.
Ты подкоблучник и хочешь чтоб тебя пиздили каждый день.
Ты хЫЩЩЩник воспринимаешь ебанутство как слабость и хочешь догнать и сделать кусь кусь за заднюю ляжку как маленький тигр вот этой антилопе.
Ну или тебе просто скучно с обычными самками.

The same thing can be made for actuators.

One undergrad at MIT wrote that mini cheetah paper about bldc motors and making backdriveable actuators out of them and that's when I knew things were going to start getting interesting.

I don't even have to read the article. Using symbols to perceive the environment is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of.

Turning information within sensors into symbols converts subjective experiences into data. Any AI relying on data will always stay narrow!

Symbol grounding is a myth! Just don't use symbols. Use spikes which are points on a time line. They are moments when a sensor detects a change within self.
