This is a good line: "It found that smarter entities are subjectively judged to behave less coherently"

I think this is twofold:

1. Advanced intelligence requires the ability to traverse between domain valleys in the cognitive manifold. Be it via temperature or some fancy tunneling technique, it's going to be higher error (less coherent) in the valleys of the manifold than naive gradient following to the local minima.

2. It's hard to "punch up" when evaluating intelligence. When someone is a certain amount smarter than you, distinguishing their plausible bullshit from their deep insights is really, really hard.

What do 'domain valleys' and 'tunneling' mean in this context?

>>xander+v6
A hallmark of intelligence is the ability to find connections between the seemingly disparate.

Actually, a hallmark could be to prune illusory connections, right? That would decrease complexity rather than amplifying it.

Yes, that also happens, for example when someone first said natural disasters are not triggered by offending gods. It is all about making explanations as simple as possible but no simpler.
