James Miles discusses the implications of evolutionary biology theories on high intelligence, referencing John Maynard Smith's concept of high intelligence as an evolutionary transition.
The real threat of advanced AI has been misunderstood, with comparisons made to influential cultural figures to illustrate points about intelligence and its evolution.
Maynard Smith recognized eight major transitions in evolution, with the final one being the emergence of high intelligence, which fundamentally changed information transmission and survival strategies.
The concept of high intelligence raises questions about its evolutionary advantages, especially when natural intelligence seems to hit certain limits in different species.
