Three Stages of Life
In other words, we can think of life as a self-replicating information processing system whose information (software) determines both its behavior and the blueprints for its hardware.
Three Stages of Life
The three stages of life: biological evolution, cultural evolution and technological evolution. Life 1.0 is unable to redesign either its hardware or its software during its lifetime: both are determined by its DNA, and change only through evolution over many generations.
What is Intelligence
The rise can be driven by machines improving machines, potentially much faster than humans could have done.
Three Stages of Life
In contrast, Life 2.0 can redesign much of its software: humans can learn complex new skills -for example languages, sports, and professions- and can fundamentally update their worldview and goals.
If we don't know what we want, we're unlikely to get it.
Intelligence Explosion
The first ultra intelligent machine is the last invention that man need to make, provided that the machine is docile enough to tell us how to keep it under control.
Irving J. Good, 1965
Three Stages of Life
Such bacteria are an example of what l’ll call Life 1.0: life where both the hardware and software are evolved rather than designed. You and l, on the other hand, are examples of Life 2.0: life whose hardware is evolved, but whose software is largely designed. You weren’t able to perform any of those tasks when you were born, so all this software got programmed into your brain later through the process we call learning.
