On: The truth about deep learning

[kmiroslav]

Maybe this universe did select for intelligence.

How about all the other universes that never generated intelligence?

But going back to our own universe, how widespread is intelligence? It's pretty much microscopic, isn't it? I think our universe seems to be mostly geared toward generating empty space, and the rare areas that are not empty are certainly extremely hostile to intelligence.

[ionforce → kmiroslav]

What do you mean hostile to intelligence? Did you mean hostile to life? And then life being a requirement for intelligence?

[kmiroslav → ionforce]

Yes. If life can't arise, neither can intelligence.

Our universe is massively hostile to both life and intelligence.
