"But one of the key implications of Wissner-Gross’s paper is that this long-held assumption may be completely backwards - that the process of trying to take over the world may actually be a more fundamental precursor to intelligence, and not vice versa.
“We may have gotten the order of dependence all wrong,” he argues. “Intelligence and superintelligence may actually emerge from the effort of trying to take control of the world - and specifically, all possible futures - rather than taking control of the world being a behavior that spontaneously emerges from having superhuman machine intelligence.”
Instead, says Wissner-Gross, from the rather simple thermodynamic process of trying to seize control of as many potential future histories as possible, intelligent behavior may fall out immediately."
