It seems to me like a "reactive intelligence" is basically equivalent to an "adaptive intelligence" which just hasn't begun making use of all of its possible outputs yet. Obviously even though we adapt to our environment, there are still ultimate limits to how far we can adapt.
- mjburgess 5y agoThe reason a dolphin isnt as smart as an ape, is that it's a tube of meat in the ocean; and an ape is a pianist up a tree. I see non-trivial forms of intelligence as largely as symptoms of physiology. Even the human brain in a dolphin would be dumb, indeed that's basically just what a dolphin is. There is something absolutely remarkable in a thought about something, moving my hands to type; and my hands actually typing. Personally, I think 90% of that miracle is organic -- it is in the ability of our ceullar microstructure to adapt quickly; and our macro-structure to adapt over time. Either way, people who intend to build intelligent systems have a task ahead of them. Building a system which can really use tools it hasnt yet invented is, in my view, a problem of materials science more than it is of discrete mathematics.
