Douglas Hofstadter on the recent exponential increase machine intelligence

[John Clark]

Douglas Hofstadter wrote my favorite book of all time, Gödel Escher Bach, so I was very interested in this interview he gave just a few days ago about AI.  As recently as 2022 Hofstadter was saying that GPT-3, the most advanced AI available at the time, was not conscious and it would be hundreds of years before a machine started to reach human level intelligence; but when GPT-4 came out this year he radically changed his mind. Although he doesn't use the word "singularity ",  what he describes certainly sounds like it and he thinks it might happen  in as soon as 5 years. And it terrifies him. He now sounds like Eliezer Yudkowsky.

Install it in Musk's Neural chip. Then install into each human. Then, go quantum!

I am not that RASH but like progress.
