"It often feels like electronics will continue to get faster forever, but at some point the laws of physics will put a stop to that. Now scientists have calculated the ultimate speed limit – the point at which quantum mechanics prevents microchips from getting any faster."
Most of the news about AI that I see are about its latest learning or 'cognitive' achievements. I don't see anything about developing independent motivation or motivational complexity. But the two appear to be at least roughly correlated in the biological world: chimps have more kinds of desires than slugs, and there is a (choppy) continuum from one to the other. Is anything like that happening in AI? It doesn't seem so. If not, does that tell us anything?
