A new study was published today with results that contradict those found in the UCSF study that you've written about.

Human Hippocampal Neurogenesis Persists Throughout Aging

The Sorrells et al study is directly mentioned twice in this paper. The first claim is that the study failed to address medicaton and drug use, which impact adult hippocampal neurogenesis.

The density of doublecortin-positive (DCX+) cells were re- ported to decline from birth into the tenth decade of life (Knoth et al., 2010) in parallel with 14C-determined neuron turnover(Bergmann et

Thank you for your input, I found it very informative!

I agree with your point that any aligned AI will be 100% on board with avoiding value drift, and that certainly does take pressure off of us when it comes to researching this. I also agree that it would be best to avoid this scenario entirely and avoid having a self-improving AI touch its value function at all.

In cases where a self-improving AI can alter its values, I don’t entirely agree that this would only be a concern at subhuman levels of intelligence. It seems plausible to me that an AI of human ... (read more)
