Einstein didn't do that. He worked steadily, making incremental progress, for like twenty years to come up with general relativity. It was in a very real sense his life's work. He hopped from one equation to the next very gradually until he got somewhere interesting.

That wasn't my point. My point is that Einstein wasn't some kind of super-genius. He had a couple interesting ideas and then worked diligently to expand on those ideas for decades before he came up with a complete and usable scientific theory.

What you think of as just a “couple interesting ideas” are earth shattering realizations about the very fundamental nature of the universe.
You only take it lightly due to overrxposure and lack of prespective. So it seems mundane to you.

What I’m saying is of you booted up your 1000 IQ ASI machine if such a thing even exists, it won’t be able to do better than Einestin.

Then clearly you have a frame of reference for what constitutes a "super-genius", because you're not putting Einstein in that category. Replace whoever you would put in that category with "Einstein" in OP's post and stop being obtuse.

Yes anons, i am sure your brain working on physical laws can't be reproduced by another machine working on physical laws.

Also the concept of evolution applied to scientific progress has been debunked by true 4chan /sci/entists. Progress is just big human brains doing big things, no such thing as discovering the simplest things first and then move to more complicated stuff after. Einstein was a magician, you just have to beat your meat for another 200 years waiting the next big brain to appear out of nowhere.

First, repeating the same shit you already said like a tropical bird is not an argument.
Second, taking people whose intellect was never tested by any official test as units to measure intelligence is anything but consistent.
Third, if your brain works on physical laws it can be reproduced by an equivalent machine, even if we still don't have one and LLMs are anything but similar to natural intelligence. We've been able to automate a lot of what a human can do and even improve it massively, i don't see why it shouldn't be possible.

Manual Labor is easy. It’s just a matter pf energy trasnfer and simple mechanisms. Our technology is really not that complicated.
Look at the creatove fields. AI generated music is nowhere near what the best of humanity’s level and AI art hasn’t added any value to the art market.

Because we had already acheived the peak of what is possible in those fields. Simillar thing and even more so in science and reasoning.

You’re falling into classical extrapolation trasp.
Airplane speeds are increasing exponentially soon we’ll have Mach 10 planes.
We’re at the tail end of the technology sigmoid curve.

Human reasoning is peak. It fundamentally can’t get better than this. You don’t understand technology or science.

You need to consider that even if you make a groundbreaking revelation or discovery you likely may not realize how important it was until much later, if ever. Einstein is cited to say that Godel's work dwarfed his own in importance and what he enjoyed the most in later years is talking walks with Godel.
Many of history's greatest treated their life's work as a hobby or a job like any other and found it no more important than vacationing with their family. Yes, it's important to accomplish great things but it's equally important to live a good life. By thinking of these people as sterile super intellects you are ignoring who they were truly and without which they wouldn't make the discoveries they did.

There's emerging belief in neuroscience and philosophy of mind that consciousness and thought processes rely on the biological substrate, cannot be represented as simple manipulation of data and thus replicated digitally.
You are a reductionist and are falling into the same fallacy that people who think you can make an AGI out of LLMs, ignoring how limited part of the human experience textual information is.

It doesn't matter. New generations will have access to more knowledge/better technology and plenty of time, that's enough to eventually come up with stuff that Einstein couldn't.

Interesting points in this thread, but no one said it’s impossible right? That means there could be a machine intellect that can surpass ours if we can crack the code.

I’d use it to fulfill my dream of being a beast man, more animal than hominid, stronger than a bear at half the size . IQ is overrated, let the robots do the nerdy shit while we fuck around for all eternity as shitflinging monkeys.

Perhaps someone in this thread will figure out how to make the pieces of the puzzle fit.

No, I meant ideas like "do hot things have more inertia that cold things?" and "if I were trapped in an elevator could I tell if I were falling or floating?" These are where Einstein started. Just little questions he thought about for a while, then developed equations around. To be clear, I'm not saying Einstein wasn't a once-in-a-century mind or whatever. Just that he wasn't a super-intellect.

Converting systems with equivalent ones is not the same as pretending everything will get optimized forever. It's just a form of implementation of it with the rest of our industrial system.

If you want to fling shit as a monkey what's the point of technological progress? We can live without machines.

Not quite as just a monkey, but as a beast, a proper archetypal “beast” man that we’ve heard stories of, what people think cavemen were. We’ll need some technological breakthroughs to get us there, and if I AI can supposedly make small enhancements to math and algorithmic efficiency, as well as simplify biological experiments and chemistry for the layman, we might soon be at a point where the ambitious ones like me can make the human body better, stronger, more beastly.

I like your attitude anon. Be it a delusion, faith might be a necessity to moving forward for us. If wacky beliefs fill our hearts with the will to try try again, then why shouldn’t we adhere to our optimistic side? I think the secret lies in recursion somehow, but we’ll need to of course put many ounces of blood sweat and tears to find the solution.
