Well that's not true. We tamed fire before understanding combustion, friction, heat, or anything else.
- uoaei 4y agoAll that's needed to "tame fire" is to have a predictive-enough model of fire dynamics and a suitable method for constraining its state space. There's nothing that requires "understanding" in the scientific sense, only in the pragmatic sense.
- naasking 4y agoSure, so maybe all you need to solve intelligence is also a pragmatic approach, like datasets generated by a known intelligence from which a general learning function can infer associations.
