What is intelligence?

$g$ constant

Trying to find one number

Programming languages

  • Turing tarpit
  • Escape from tarpit by comparing relative expressiveness
    • Non-trivial (local) transformation = A is more expressive than B
  • What is the productivity number?
    • Hard to define, productivity is subjective and depends on complex human variables

Compression

  • Kolmogorov complexity: reduce a program without losing information

Prediction

  • Are some models better than others?
    • Character-model vs token-model vs tree-structured model

Humor

  • Humor requires prediction, or can be formulated as seq2seq problem
  • Humor requires compression: some jokes are best concise and bite-sized
