His point is that if you scoop out the hearts of the mother and father, they also won’t do any reproducing. Which may or may not be just a cute rejoinder to your earlier post, the cuteness of which is also hard to descry.
But, Tim, honestly, brother, aren’t we arguing semantics? Whether we call the process of evolution “blind” or “intelligent” up to this point, certainly it will be a new event in evolutionary history if the kind of self-improving AI that Eliezer is talking about takes off… “10^49 Planck intervals, or enough time for a population of 2GHz processor cores to perform 10^15 serial operations one after the other.”
10^15 deliberate serial operations in a week is a VASTLY new way of self-evolving. Now, if you think Eliezer is wrong in thinking this will happen, I am interested to hear why… I certainly don’t know if he is right or wrong and want to consider more arguments. But your argument (repeated many, many times on this blog now) is clever, but there’s no relevant content.
At what point does raising a clever objection cross over into trolling and self-promotion being a crank? Sorry for the cross-talk everyone, but it’s grating.
