1 month for us = 820,000 years for asi

Reddit r/singularity News

Summary

Explores the subjective time compression an ASI would experience due to vastly faster processing speeds compared to human brains, suggesting one month of human time equals 820,000 years of ASI thought, raising alignment implications.

hey guys been thinking about the raw physics and math behind an intelligence explosion and the time compression aspect is just insane like we always talk about how smart an asi will be but we forget how FAST it will think compared to biological brains the physics of it is actually simple when you break it down: the human brain: our neurons send electro-chemical signals at max 100-120 m/s and fire at around 200 hz (200 cycles per second) the silicon chip: processors operate in gigahertz (ghz) and since 1 ghz is 1 billion hz digital systems are literally running millions of times faster than our cells even today: we see this speed gap right now honestly todays ai can read like 50 full books or write complex code in 3 seconds while it takes us days or weeks but when a full asi scales this up our calendar completely warps for them: when you go to sleep for 8 hours: an asi experiences roughly 9,000 years of subjective continuous research time in its own mind (literally stone age to nuclear age in one night) in just 1 month of our time: an asi lives through 820,000 years of uninterrupted thinking... thats like three times the entire evolutionary history of homo sapiens squeezed into 30 days like how do you even control or align something that perceives 1 second of our time as weeks or months of its own subjective reality?? to an asi we are basically standing completely still like statues while it lives out entire civilizations of thought every single day what do you guys think about this speed gap? feels like we aren't talking enough about how time completely breaks during the singularity...
