Eredeti: Society itself could be dismembered, as some people ride the breaking wave of every-newer technology over the event horizon into invisibility, while others lag behind, feeling the powerful gravitational force of still-accelerating technology, but no longer able to see it. Thus the world would be comprehensible only to those near the leading edges of technology.
Eliezer Yudkowsky híres idézetei
„Az evolúció a tervezés és tesztelés egy olyan szélsőséges esete, amelyben az intelligencia nulla.”
Eredeti: Evolution is the degenerate case of design-and-test where intelligence equals zero.
Eredeti: Code is not magic. It is just a very expensive and time-consuming way to find out what you don't know.
Eredeti: A seed AI could have a "codic cortex", a sensory modality devoted to code, with intuitions and instincts devoted to code, and the ability to abstract higher-level concepts from code and intuitively visualize complete models detailed in code.
Eredeti: Declaring yourself to be operating by " Crocker's Rules http://sl4.org/crocker.html" means that other people are allowed to optimize their messages for information, not for being nice to you. Crocker's Rules means that you have accepted full responsibility for the operation of your own mind - if you're offended, it's your fault.
Eredeti: We underestimate the distance between ourselves and others. Not just inferential distance, but distances of temperament and ability, distances of situation and resource, distances of unspoken knowledge and unnoticed skills and luck, distances of interior landscape.
In every generation it is the same plea: "No, this time it really *is* too mysterious for science."
The children grow up in a world where stars and chemistry and life have always been mundane and previous generations were just being silly mystics. And when they encounter something that's *really* inexplicable, like consciousness, why, such a mystery has never happened before, it is wholly unlike such non-mysterious things as stars and life forms. Surely if there were a mundane explanation we would have found it already. As if stars and life forms had not been great mysteries for millennia on end, until one day someone solved them, and then they were not mysteries any more.

Eredeti: If computing speeds double every two years, what happens when computer-based AIs are doing the research? Computing speed doubles every two years. Computing speed doubles every two years of work. Computing speed doubles every two subjective years of work. Two years after Artificial Intelligences reach human equivalence, their speed doubles. One year later, their speed doubles again. Six months - three months - 1.5 months ... Singularity. ( Staring into the Singularity http://yudkowsky.net/singularity.html)
