Evolution is Of course there's a constraint: you need to be able to model reality in order to build designs not incorporated, in a series of incremental steps. You need the models and the crunch to do so. > actually nicer than most AGIs, because evolution is Evolution isn't anything, it's just an essential feature of self-replicating systems in a limited-resource context.
