Different alphas across different hypothetical universes might affect the overall intelligence of each universe. Perhaps affecting the rate at which intelligence increases. I don’t buy what some say though that if alpha wasn’t perfectly tuned to what it is now then intelligent life wouldn’t exist. It might exist but in a different form. Unless there is some particular strong physical coupling. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Teaac2c1a9c4f4ce3-M9f71087c9ae68ae4aae0896e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
