The Importance of Predictions in a Simulation Environment

The author of the hitting a wall article is saying we're missing this kind of like symbolic piece. It's almost fundamentally impossible for us to architect logic that's going to create intelligence. By definition, as intelligent beings, we're only ever going to be able to do something slightly less than what we are. And so i think what we can do is evolved them. We got here through four billion years of evolution with incredible computational fidelity in this real world. Now maybe we don't need to simulate something that's as realistic as our real world and run the simulation for four billion years in all the computation resources that exist on earth"
