I feel like "turning $100k into a million" requires less intelligence than "surviving on welfare" or even better "getting out of poverty". Could make a better starting point for an alternative to Turing Test. Thoughts on how we could design such a test? bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
And we should also give the AI some handicaps to be truly representative of human experience: physical (hardware) and psychological (software) trauma. Dysfunctional (or absent) existing social environment. etc.
In Canada first welfare check arrives 1 month after you declare having no $ and no income. If you make some income, it is deduced from your welfare. If you hide it and they find out, they cut your check monthly to reimburse themselves.
AI would at least need to maintain its own existence (pay for energy consumption, internet connection, service fees, etc) starting with no money, so it would need to borrow money first.
Big AI milestone today: CICERO, an AI agent that can negotiate and cooperates with people.
It is the first AI system to achieve human-level performance in the popular strategy game Diplomacy.
Cicero ranked in the top 10 of participants on webDiplomacy.net
Meta AI presents CICERO — the first AI to achieve human-level performance in Diplomacy, a strategy game which requires building trust, negotiating and cooperating with multiple players.

"To tame" can be used both with a domination/subjugation intent (eg. taming a lion) and with a companionship/empathetic intent (eg. taming a fox, as in "Le Petit Prince"). In French, there are two words: "dompter" and "apprivoiser". Are there two words in English too?
15 years ago my PhD advisor taught me One Weird Trick for editing your own writing. Edit **back to front**, paragraph by paragraph. I still use it and it still surprises me how well it works. When I get my students to do it, it often blows their minds. Try it!
