Yeah,and that's the point I was trying to make about right now. But at some point we'll find ourselves in the position of having created general intelligence. Be it smarter than us or not. In the case of this model, it "could accurately simulate how the universe would look if certain parameters were tweaked [...] even though the model had never received any training data where those parameters varied."

This means that it somehow was able to figure something specific out based on data that had nothing to do with it. Whether by accident or because there's a correlation that we haven't yet figured out, this model was able to understand it. And that's amazing and scary at the same time.

Why do you believe that ?
