The Suleyman Test -- an agent outcompeting humans for money -- reveals Suleyman's insight into the unfriendly AGI known in the vernacular as "The Global Economy" which is a "Money Maximizer" as opposed to a "Paperclip Maximizer".
But he still elides the foundation of intelligence in creating a predictive model of the world relevant to the reward or utility function -- the "maximizer" embodied in sequential decision theory. In other words, Suleyman is making the same mistake everyone else is making in this shit-storm of hysteria over AI born of ChatGPT: "Whatever else you may do *don't operationally define science!*" This obsession with avoiding the operational definition of science is really quite remarkable given the fact that computer programming is all about operationalizing definitions. We even have some guy here psychopathologizing those who want to operationalize science! I mean maybe... possibly, that might not evince its own psychopathology if it weren't for the fact that this mailing list presumes computer programming hence formally defined operations. Doesn't this strike anyone else as just plain *weird* somehow? DeepMind increasingly strikes me as doing little more than capturing the technical potential exhibited by Shane Legg and Joel Veness in their pre-DeepMind work presented in this 2010 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghzG14dT-w&t=978s Otherwise Google would have supported the Hutter Prize as soon as it acquired DeepMind.
