Contact your lawmakers now: https://controlai.org/aperture Intelligence is a hierarchy. And for all of human history, we’ve sat comfortably at the top of it. We’re not the fastest nor the strongest, we don’t have the sharpest teeth or the most powerful bite. But we became the apex species on this planet because of one advantage: we’re the most intelligent. Every other living thing exists because we allow it to. We decide what survives and what goes extinct. What gets studied, hunted, protected, or erased. But what happens the day we aren’t anymore? Would we suffer the same fate we’ve handed to every other living thing on this planet? Doomed to live a life dancing to our every whims? 00:00 Every Level of Intelligence 00:59 Level 1 - Basic Reactions 06:13 Level 2 - Reading the room 09:18 Level 3 - Planning 13:37 Level 4 - Social Intelligence 19:27 Level 5 - Abstraction 24:34 Level 6 - Machine Intelligence 30:50 Posthuman intelligence Aperture explores the ideas shaping how we think — philosophy, psychology, and the hidden forces behind human behavior.
