Anthropoidal arguments

 Science tragics will be familiar with the " Just So ' stories of cosmic parameters that exist in a Goldilocks zone since our hairless-ape existence itself proves this. Tautology raised to an art-form, but good for a belly-laugh all the same. And if you take it seriously then you might like this.

" . . .  the "abstraction barrier": because AI systems can communicate at enormous bandwidth, they may never be forced to compress the world into the deep abstractions that humans develop precisely because our own communication is so limited. . ."


" . . . catalogues some of the structural advantages that digital intelligence holds over biological intelligence, advantages that tend to intensify with scale. These include high-bandwidth input and output, fast internal processing, large and reliable working memory, substrate independence, lossless copying, and the ability to share learned experience across instances at high bandwidth . . ."


From Stephenson's Rocket AI to Bullet trains in a few years. The future shock is giving me whiplash.


I GIVE UP!
