Compression of intelligence at the social level.

As computers and the Internet have become more widespread, we are able to look at information in more and more detail.

For simplicity's sake, let's take the example of an advertisement.

In the past, when we placed an ad in a magazine, we could somehow guess who would see it based on circulation and readership, and we somehow received more inquiries and orders.

When this goes online, the number of times the ad is displayed, its location, the number of clicks, and from the click to the purchase are displayed as exact numbers.

In some cases, we even know what the user was doing with the mouse.

This is great enough, but recently the scope of what we can know has expanded even further.

It is a feeling that can be traced back quite far and deep, zoooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

Apparently, the evolution of technology increases the dimension of observation, and I will start with a quote from the text that mentions it.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Later, when human society invented the microscope and telescope, more complex ways of "seeing" evolved.

Microscopes made it possible to see into the previously unknown microscopic world, leading to various discoveries ranging from living cells to elementary particles.

Telescopes made it possible to see farther into space, and satellites orbiting other planets and planets orbiting other stars were discovered.

In this sense, our technology is a nearby filter, so to speak, through which we evolve to see reality in new ways.

Thus, in the broadest possible sense, technology is the knowledge (information selected over time) that makes possible the existence of something that could not originally exist, and the application of that knowledge.

One of the most widely discussed of the technologies currently emerging on the planet is artificial intelligence.

It is often argued that artificial intelligence is insubstantial and even out of the evolutionary stream.

But the technologies we are developing today - large-scale language models, computer vision, automated devices - are not divorced from the biosphere that created them.

It is nothing less than a new capacity of life realized again in a new substrate.

And with it, intelligent life on a new scale, a planetary scale, is about to emerge.

Artificial intelligence, which is being developed, is another important piece because it can process data on a large enough scale to see objects as deep in time as we do.

In this sense, artificial intelligence is another technology of perception.

Compress the vast amount of data that describes us as a collective (like a society) into a length and timescale that individual humans can understand and interact with.

In doing so, it allows us to observe ourselves for the first time in a fundamental and more abstract way.

Some people marginalize ChatGPT not because it is human-level intelligence (as has been argued here and there), but because it compresses social-level intelligence to the human scale.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I wanted to convey the nuance well, and the quote is long.

This is the part that concerns me the most

'It's not human-level intelligence, it's social-level intelligence compressed onto a human scale.'

What this means is that the essential way to deal with artificial intelligence is "not" an extension of daily conversations and meetings.

In other words, I think that the empirically acquired technique of conversing one-on-one or discussing with several people does not fully raise the dimension of observation.

Sensibly speaking, you need tension (and from the perspective of artificial intelligence, many attention heads and layers) to have an instantaneous ba-ba-ba conversation with the entire society that has been accumulated so far.

And since a huge amount of information is delivered in a folded format, the world has become a convenient but also frightening place to live in.
