    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.
