"Each prior “intelligence explosion” was not an upgrade to individual cognitive hardware, but the emergence of a new, socially aggregated unit of cognition. Primate intelligence scaled with social group size, not habitat difficulty. Human language created what Michael Tomasello calls the “cultural ratchet”: knowledge accumulating across generations without any individual requirement to reconstruct the whole. Writing, law, and bureaucracy externalized social intelligence into infrastructure, institutions that coordinate across longer time horizons than any participant within them. A Sumerian scribe running a grain accounting system did not comprehend its macroeconomic function; the system was functionally more intelligent than he was.

AI extends this sequence. Large language models are trained on the accumulated output of human social cognition—the cultural ratchet made computationally active, every parameter a compressed residue of communicative exchange. What migrates into silicon is not abstract reasoning but social intelligence in externalized form, encountering itself on a new substrate.

If intelligence is inherently social, then the path to more powerful AI runs not through building a single colossal oracle but through composing richer social systems—and these systems will be hybrid. We have entered the era of human-AI centaurs: composite actors that are neither purely human nor purely machine. Centaur actors can take many forms and inhabit many different roles. Each one of us may move in and out of diverse ensembles many times a day: one human directing many AI agents; one AI serving many humans; many humans and many AIs collaborating in shifting configurations."

“Everybody who flashed the signs of loyalty he took to be loyal. Everybody who flashed the signs of intelligence he took to be intelligent. And so he had failed to see into his daughter, failed to see into his wife, failed to see into his one and only mistress—probably had never even begun to see into himself.”
― Philip Roth

🚀 Khám phá benchmark mới cho AI: các agent thi đấu trò Werewolf (trò chơi suy luận xã hội). Thay vì chỉ đo khả năng giải toán, chúng phải lừa dối, đọc tín hiệu xã hội, tạo liên minh tạm thời và quyết định bỏ phiếu chiến lược. Đề xuất mở rộng đánh giá trí thông minh xã hội cho mô hình địa phương, so sánh với MMLU/HumanEval. Ai đã thử chạy mô hình trong môi trường đối kháng này? 🤔
