On: We’re closer to ‘engineering’ blood vessels

Or maybe if you get enough rolls of the dice over billions of years you don't need intelligence.

[ttymck → gcheong]

Same thing?

[pessimizer → ttymck]

Yup. Pretty sure trained LLMs are functions of the dice rolls provided by the input. What we are now is a function of the dice rolls provided by terrestrial physics.

[barbazoo → ttymck]

How?

[wheelerof4te → barbazoo]

Because someone did the initial rolling of the dice? Someone bought the dice in their version of LA casino.

[barbazoo → wheelerof4te]

There doesn't seem to be any evidence of this but who knows what we'll find.

[wheelerof4te → gcheong]

Who did the rolling of the dice?

But I digress. Arguing with people who believe in world-building RNG Tetris is pointless.

[revolvingocelot → wheelerof4te]

Oh, I imagine we'll keep trying. Each one of us, shaped by both the differing environments we were nurtured in, and our individual genetic nature, will try different ways and means of addressing it with you. Perhaps eventually one argument will succeed, news of its efficacy will spread, and it will come to dominate...

[wheelerof4te → revolvingocelot]

Just to be clear, I wasn't thinking about some biblical God...

[tomrod → wheelerof4te]

I'll take the blame. Dice, rolled.

Let us not assume creation and intelligent design with biological evolution does fine. Too many malicious people claim moral superiority/right to rule when you mix in a claim to a creator of life with evolution. Parismony!
