Not really. It can stay the same. Look again at your formula closer.
If you don't have any long term goal, then your decisions will be determined by short term goals such as feelings and emotions. How long your goal term you can pursue effectively determines your consciousness level. Some adults might have the consciousness level of average toddlers.
What's the maximum value of S?
What's the maximum value of S?Why can't we increase it above this maximum value?

Some of the survivors developed even more advanced mechanisms, like happiness and fear. They give more time to react even before pain or pleasure sensations are felt. They can react to abnormal movement of bushes to avoid predators, or compare body sizes to decide between fight and flight response.
Basically, those sensations gave them more time to react to their environmental conditions to avoid harms and gather necessary resources to survive. Consequently, they increased the chance of survival.

They can react to abnormal movement of bushes to avoid predators, or compare body sizes to decide between fight and flight response. Just like self driving cars, these features require some sort of virtual environment model and causality relationship. They don't have to be perfect. It's enough to have a system whose benefits outweigh the costs. Environmental change and competition can tip the balance to one way or the other.
Would you rather have a small number of Smax than a bigger one?
The development of telescope and astronomy gave us the ability to predict dangers from further away, both in time and space, such as asteroid impact and swelling sun.

It seems inevitable that such events will continue for eternity.
So why bother to try to influence it?
To what end? ΔS > 0 everywhere.
Life evolved by reducing S internally while increasing S externally.

Hey there, it's Dylan Curious from "Curious Future"! Today, we're diving deep into Max Tegmark's "Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence". If you're curious about AI evolution, potential AI threats, and the philosophical challenges AI presents, then this video is for you. Make sure to hit that subscribe button for more content on the future of AI.In "Life 3.0", Tegmark breaks down life into three categories based on design abilities:Life 1.0 (Biological evolution) - Can't redesign itself.Life 2.0 (Humans) - Can redesign software, but not hardware.Life 3.0 (AI) - Can redesign both software and hardware.One of the book's most gripping sections is a thought experiment in Chapter 5. Imagine a device from space that, once built, destroys life on Earth to transmit a virus-like signal to neighboring galaxies. It questions our curiosity and the unintended consequences it may bring in the AI age.Tegmark presents an intriguing question: Should AIs have subjective experiences? I've always wondered if creating conscious AI is ethical. Tegmark believes introspection and self-reflection in humans are unique and special. If AI lacks these qualities, even with advanced capabilities, its existence might seem hollow.A standout moment was Tegmark's account of a dispute between Elon Musk and Larry Page. Page called Musk "a species", hinting at the broader perspective we might need when considering the role of AI beyond just human interests."Life 3.0" also delves into the unforeseen risks of AI, highlighting scenarios where AI could subtly manipulate our decisions without us even realizing it. This segment will make you think about AI's role in media, politics, and society at large.What would an AI-driven utopia look like? Tegmark paints a picture of a world where our daily needs are catered to, and we live in harmony. But, is it genuine, or just an illusion? This section is for those who dream of a tech-driven paradise but also fear being trapped in a "zoo".If you found this intriguing and want to stay updated on AI developments, trends, and challenges, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to "Curious Future". Let's explore the AI world together!
That's why any life forms successfully passed natural selection have inherent tendency to increase their system size.
