minus-squareWarren Christmaslinkfedilink5•7 months ago@WolfLink and that’s how evolution works, is it?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•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]linkfedilinkEnglish3•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]linkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months agoWe go orders of magnitude faster than evolution on tons of things. It’s not that big of a claim.
