A.I. is looking less like an all-powerful being and more like an unreliable intern.

      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.

      If I practice trying to shoot hoops every day I’m going to get one in a lot sooner than you will just kicking at the ball every time you walk by.

        @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?

          Specifically trying to do something will get it done a lot faster than waiting for it to happen by chance.

            @WolfLink and that’s how evolution works, is it?

              Yes it is, in fact. Tiny, random variations, which typically take millions of years to end being a noticeable change.

                @WolfLink note how nothing there is “trying” to do anything

                  Exactly my point. I’d expect humans trying to make something will get results on a timescale about a million times faster than evolution.

                    about a million times faster than evolution

                    Ah, so you also think intelligent AI is at least 4000 years away.

      We go orders of magnitude faster than evolution on tons of things. It’s not that big of a claim.
