For example, today's AIs work pretty much like that.

You hard code your goal states, what is good and bad.

Actually think about it... AI would be taught, not programmed.

And then neurel networks try to optimize the good and minimize the bad.

Dusty you just want a robot you can bang lol

It is hard to program something that translate to real world.

In a way that is how lifeforms are working.

Reminds me. There was this game that gave all ais a random fear and like

I can show you.

They would be taught faster than us...

what's the difference between being taught and programmed?

But they would be taught the same way as us.

Supposedly to give them a weakness

This is an AI playing Mario:

Good video

It figures out how to play mario because you tell it what is good and bad.

once it gains sentience, it will learn on its own

Programmed can end up with errors....

and faster than you can understand

Being taught allows for them to learn as they go.

Dying is bad = pain. Getting further right is good = pleasure

and will outpace us all

The goods and bads.

on day 2

Look how computers behave today...

Honestly though a ai is only gonna make shit efficient

and on day 3

overlords

Not invent shit

You have to program in some motivation. Motivation does not automatically follow from "intelligence"

Give an ai a rock and they will figure out the best way to use it

Our motivation = pain/pleasure

if you did not feel hungry, you would forget to eat

Best way to use it without any morals.

hungry feels bad

Sometimes the best way for them, would be removing all obsticles.

Like say cure all hunger...

Hungry not bad.

ORANGE MAN BAD

They would wipe out humans.
