"The Enigmatic Presence of Computational Intelligence"

Dec 23, 2023 - 7:56amSummary: The author finds it humorous that people are anticipating the arrival of aliens when in reality, a form of intelligence has already arrived in the form of computational intelligence. They argue that while this intelligence may not be extraterrestrial, it remains foreign and incomprehensible to humans. Although we can create computational intelligence, the author emphasizes that this does not equate to a full understanding of it. Overall, the text discusses the concept of computational intelligence as an existing but enigmatic presence on Earth.

Transcript: It's funny that people are wondering about when the aliens are going to land, but the aliens have already landed. Like, we have another intelligence on the planet with us right now. Computational intelligence is a thing. It may not be from outer space, but it is alien to us, and we don't understand it. Fundamentally, we do not understand it. We can make it, but that doesn't mean we understand it.
