Totally agree with Tim. And then they do experiments via simulations... Can't learn everything like that, but a helluva lot.

Of course, this is far from De Grey's "once these machines become as smart as humanity they won't have any new information to learn."

[...] IMO, we'll continue to see a range of organism lifespans. Different niches favour different lifespans. A bacterium has one lifespan, a whale has longer one and a solar farmer has a much longer one. Slow experiments will continue to be time-consuming to perform. Our descendants will still have to build particle accelerators, radio telescopes and the like. However, there's a lot to learn that can take place inside a cubic centimeter. The world of protein folding fits inside such a cube - for example. Our descendants will be able to explore such realms using rapid experiments. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [email protected] Remove lock to reply. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
