hEad v 3.25.6, When humans gather and/or re-evaluate information, the premises behind our actions and decisions change, automatically, all the time.
This is much easier than updating a program, hEad v 3.25.7, wouldn't you agree?

We attain more sophistication by experience; a program increases capacity through algorithmic development. Surely the two processes are very similar?

Of course they are. Program increases its capacity when programmers attain more sophistication. Both processes depend on a human's learning. |
Cor.. that one begs to be prodded by a discussion on the origins of causality. Indeed, perhaps our own learning is dependent on the actions of a greater force external to ourselves – plenty of ideas to suggest that man is not the sovereign agent he believes himself to be. Man certainly has the monopoly on efficiency but his intelligence is not alone in its capacity to respond to stimuli.
Anyway, no rush. I haven’t seen a movie or heard a theory yet that doesn’t portend bad news for humanity if AI gets its 1’s in front of its 0’s by itself!
