minus-squareOpus DEI@mastodon.me.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 年前@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-squareOpus DEI@mastodon.me.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 年前@WolfLink and that’s how evolution works, is it?
minus-squareWolfLink@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前Yes it is, in fact. Tiny, random variations, which typically take millions of years to end being a noticeable change.
minus-squareOpus DEI@mastodon.me.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 年前@WolfLink note how nothing there is “trying” to do anything
minus-squareWolfLink@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前Exactly my point. I’d expect humans trying to make something will get results on a timescale about a million times faster than evolution.
minus-squareearthquake@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-21 年前 about a million times faster than evolution Ah, so you also think intelligent AI is at least 4000 years away.
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前We go orders of magnitude faster than evolution on tons of things. It’s not that big of a claim.
minus-squareAmoeba_Girl@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前I mean, assuming it is at all possible (or rather that the problem even means anything), I suppose four billion years is a rather generous deadline.
