Hypothesis: adding loose associations to the large language model might make it able to invent new things – perhaps even AGI
So why are loose associations important and what does that mean?
Isn't it weird that at least two geniuses of our time are into UFO's and "conspiracy" theories?
Like for example Christopher Langan and Eric Weinstein.
I think having a mild thought disorder called loose associations is what makes them able to make new connections, even tho they are sometimes false. Like Einstein believed that we should be vegetarians.
There is something in this. Someones comment about Eric Weinstein: "My evaluation is that he is enormously intelligent. And like many people of enormous intelligence he suffers from something like an over-connected brain. He is too good at spotting connections between things, connections that potentially do not exist. The result is everything is a conspiracy - or some grand paradigm waiting to be unlocked."
Examples of loose associations:
Impossible relationship imposed between 2 or more objects identified in discrete areas of the blot.
Also, impossible transparencies (always coded as Level 2.)
Examples:
"2 chickens holding basketball" = FABCOM1
"2 ants dancing" = FABCOM1
Two or more animals jointly engaged in some
human activity = FABCOM1
"2 woman attacking a submarine" = FABCOM2
"Rabbit head, with smoke come out of his eyes" = FABCOM2
"Big man sitting. You can see his heart pumping" = FABCOM2
Best regards,
FABCOM = Fabulized Combination
Two is more severe than one. Rorschach's inkblot test is one tool for measuring that.
Albert Einstein combined these: "In summary, Albert Einstein combined the theories of space and time, and the law of gravitation into his Theory of Relativity."
Too much of loose associations lead to schizophrenia tho. Like someone who is psychotic could interpret lamp turning on that they are messaging to that person literally when there is no real association.

Gpt-3's answer to pros and cons of loose associations:
"Loose associations are a type of thought pattern characterized by rapid shifts in conversation or train of thought, often leading to incomplete or tangential ideas. The reasons why some people make loose associations can vary, but it can be linked to certain psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or ADHD, or as a result of emotional stress, drug abuse, or fatigue.
Pros of loose association thinking:
- Creative thinking: making connections and associations that others might not see
- Flexibility in thinking: the ability to change direction and adapt to new situations quickly
- High level of energy: often associated with improving information processing and memory retention.
Cons of loose association thinking:
- Difficulty in communication: thoughts can become abstract or difficult to follow, leading to potential misunderstandings
- Difficulty in focusing on concrete tasks or goals: shifting attention, being scatterbrained, and not being able to focus for a long period of time
- Inappropriate responses: Over-interpretation or inappropriate response can lead to abrasive or negative interactions with others.
Overall, there are both advantages and disadvantages to loose association thinking, which can depend on the situation and context in which it is utilized."
So I think it is essential that while usign autoGPT there is also some third agent that gives not so usual output in order to invent new connections together.
