Humans are proud of a lot of things, from particle accelerators, to poetry to pokemon. All of them made possible because of something humans value extremely highly: intelligence.

Yeah, I guess my level of intelligence stops there

What's ironic is that the more you learn, the more you feel that you know nothing.

This animation could just become a game that I would die for to play

[LyricWulf]

5:46 Imagine how terrifying it would be to crack open a coconut, only to find an octopus in it

[spirit]

I feel that one thing that was missed was the ability to spontaneously adapt when planning doesn't work. Not just changing plans, but combining complex learned behaviors in order to push the organism toward what was planned.

Being a stem cell biologist I can say that the definition of intelligence becomes more and more relevant in my field of research. Some years ago, protocols for the generation of so-called "brain organoids" have been developed. We usually make brain organoids from stem cells (which can be made from skin cells) and you can think of them as "petri dish brains" to some degree. Brain organoids form structures similar to the developing brain and they even can cause contraction in muscle cells. However, they are very unstructured and not considered as being conscious (I recently made a video about brain organoids!). In the nearer future, however, lab-grown intelligence might be a thing

When you realize the fact that If You are trying to define intelligence,

That also means Intelligence is trying to define itself.
