Another one lost to the wrong detail... God I suck at mouth. >AI will have a lot of limitations like these, so I think that "as efficiently as possible" is not going to be so efficient in the end. You think. AI won't care what you think. Efficiency equals greater chance for survival. As with bacteria, we can break this down to a binary sequence: try to live/die. The difference between bacteria and AI is that AI has language -- a way to describe what to avoid that jeopardizes survivability. In addition, this advantage is exponential. I play with code in my day to day. Some might call it "software". Really what it is is a decision tree. Any piece of software you have ever come into contact with -- ever -- is just that: do this? Yes or no. Is it that? Yes or no. To suggest that a machine couldn't decide "yes or no" a million to one faster than we can is insane. So, given our previous hypothesis that more information means more power, how can we possibly win?
