minus-squareWarren Christmaslinkfedilink8•7 months ago@WolfLink so you’re saying there’s a measurable correlation between practicing a skill and getting better at it? Amazing What’s this got to do with the Big Averaging Machine?

minus-squareWarren Christmaslinkfedilink5•7 months ago@WolfLink and that’s how evolution works, is it?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-1•7 months agoYes it is, in fact. Tiny, random variations, which typically take millions of years to end being a noticeable change.
minus-squareWarren Christmaslinkfedilink7•7 months ago@WolfLink note how nothing there is “trying” to do anything
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-1•7 months agoExactly my point. I’d expect humans trying to make something will get results on a timescale about a million times faster than evolution.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish14•edit-27 months ago about a million times faster than evolution Ah, so you also think intelligent AI is at least 4000 years away.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-5•7 months agoWe go orders of magnitude faster than evolution on tons of things. It’s not that big of a claim.
