> Do we have a terrific reservoir of computational ability though? We do (and I wrote a long post with a list of bullet points proving so before I just deleted it), but I don't think we should waste time debating whether this is true or not true. We're on the same side after all, your objective is my objective. > But if myself and fellow computer users did have access to efficient powerful computers, we'd probably want to write algorithms that allowed us to make many attempts at the solution per second. I'd imagine writing a simulator to project many agents into where they are competing for resources and many of these simulations taking place concurrently. I recommend you look at David Krateneur's ideas, he has a video called "The Stupid Ways That We Have Thought About Intelligence". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi7h6nmkvAM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi7h6nmkvAM > Something of a multiverse of simulation and optimization. An artificial imagination really. I really recommend watching that video.
