I wish you could have what you want, but I worry you won't get this, because life doesn't give you that, and these systems are tending away from machine precision, and more toward life-like trade-offs.

I am almost certain that even if you did get what you want, something that isn't what you want will run circles around you and eat your lunch

EDIT: I suspect this will be an unpopular take on Hacker News. And so I am soliciting upvotes for visibility from other biologists and sympathetic technologists. I think everyone should try to grapple with this possibility <3

Yes, exactly. Spoken like a true biologist. It's not really surprising that there's a massive backlash against AI, introducing an unnatural predator into the ecosystem of humans. People don't want to be lunch.

		Ahhh I like that It's nested and recursive cathedrals and bazaars, all the way down. And perhaps the bazaar has finally arrived inside the favourite cathedral of most everyone here EDIT: out of curiosity, does anyone have any good examples of biomes/ecosystems that are so far toward cathedrals? Or is that a uniquely human invention/extreme at the ecosystem scale?
