On: OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB

[Jensson]

But humans being able to develop new tricks is core to their intelligence, saying its just a bag of tricks means you don't understand what AGI is. So either the poster misunderstood Dennett or Dennett weren't talking about AGI or Dennett didn't understand this well.

Of course there are many tricks you will need special training for, like many of the skills human share with animals, but the ability to construct useful shareable large knowledge bases based on observations is unique to humans and isn't just a "trick".

Dennett was talking about natural intelligence. I think you're just underestimating the potential of a sufficiently big bag of tricks.

sharing knowledge isn't a human thing - chimps learn from each other. bees teach each other the direction and distance to a new source of food.

we just happen to push the envelope a lot further and managed to kickstart runaway mimetic evolution.

"mimetic" is apt there, but I think that Dennett, as a friend of Dawkins, would say it's "memetic"

nice catch!
