“The importance of curiosity in reinforcement learning algorithms suggests that a brain designed to learn through reinforcement, such as the brain of early vertebrates, should also exhibit curiosity.”
Max Solomon Bennett, A Brief History of Intelligence: Evolution, AI, and the Five Breakthroughs That Made Our Brains – A Neuroscience Framework for Understanding Future Machines

Parmy Olson
“The basic premise of transhumanism is that the human race is currently second-rate. With the right scientific discoveries and technology, we might one day evolve beyond our physical and mental limits into a new, more intelligent species. We’ll be smarter and more creative, and we’ll live longer. We might even manage to meld our minds with computers and explore the galaxy.”
Parmy Olson, Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT, and the Race That Will Change the World

Mustafa Suleyman
“The irony of general-purpose technologies is that, before long, they become invisible and we take them for granted. Language, agriculture, writing—each was a general-purpose technology at the center of an early wave. These three waves formed the foundation of civilization as we know it. Now we take them for granted.”
Mustafa Suleyman, The Coming Wave: AI, Power, and Our Future

“The problem with solutionism... It assumes that rationality has the tools to solve every problem. ... We think problems are decidable because we only see the decidable ones. We don't see the infinite number of problems we can't solve because it's so difficult even to describe them. We are finite creations and can solve problems only if we can develop algorithms --finite procedures-- for reaching the correct answers. Most problems do not have solutions that are reducible to finite procedures. To assume the world is built so we can figure it out is absurd.”
Scott J. Shapiro, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing: The Dark History of the Information Age, in Five Extraordinary Hacks

“The truth, not widely understood until later, was that the deep-learning revolution was as much a revolution in hardware as software. It was the product of not one but two unpopular, cast-off, discredited, and cash-starved technologies whose ideal form could only be revealed in synthesis. Neural nets running on parallel computers: these tightly coupled technologies were the twin strands of DNA for a new and powerful organism, looking to consume all the data in the world.”
Stephen Witt, The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang and Nvidia, the company shaping the future of AI
