Hmm, the dumbest human can never lose any game of chess, against the smartest machine. The smartest human can never win against the smartest machine. So if the humans can never win against machines, and machines can never win against humans, that means we are of equal strength, no? We humans think from first principles. When a disadvantage is found in the enemy's computational process, one person tells all about it to the person beside him. The second person, doesn't need retraining his brain from scratch to incorporate the new knowledge. He uses that nugget of information, just that nugget and nothing else to gain an advantage in chess, in the stock market or anything else. One obvious example are script kiddies in computers who just download an exploit and gain an advantage, despite knowing nothing about computer security. Or a janitor who listens by chance some important investment information and can 10x some money by pure luck. We think from first principles because we are born on the planet with a purpose. Machines are not born, they do not care to ever being given birth, and they do not care if they die because they were never alive. They have no purpose, and no first principles to think anything about.
