Evolution of Intelligence
Intelligence, while incredibly valuable, is surprisingly rare in evolution due to the efficiency of hard-coded solutions over general-purpose learning mechanisms. Gwern argues that in many environments, it’s more adaptive for organisms to evolve specific solutions rather than rely on costly and unreliable intelligence. He also reflects on his skepticism towards the notion that mere computing power would lead to breakthroughs in AI, emphasizing the complexity and depth of algorithms needed for true advancement.In this clip
