Biology is extremely slow, try to extrapolate the previous 3 years of AI progress 10 years into the future, it's not a comparable trajectory.

Spoken like someone with a somewhat limited understanding of what it actually takes to calculate the fitness function of arbitrary organisms in an arbitrary environments.

  • Yeah it takes long because natural selection is a blind process starting from absolute zero and is only concerned with fitness, AI is a human guided process, has all of human progress as a starting point and is concerned with any number of goals we can create reward signals for, there's almost nothing you can extrapolate from one to the other.
