What allergy to innateness? Isn't basically all of computer vision now based on pre-trained ResNets, with *innate* low-level feature detectors?

artificial life / evolutionary computing has no allergy to innateness

I only half agree; even there, there is for the most part an allergy to build anything that looks much like cognitive level representation or algorithm.

I don’t think we should use the term of innateness in opposition to learning (in machine learning). ML algorithm do not « learn » like we learn. In some sense ML is just a way to adjust the weights of some function that could typically be hard wired in humans. ML ain’t learning

Different systems have different learning mechanisms. Bricks don't have any innate learning mechanisms, and learn nothing... ML is a field with many different learning mechanisms, none of which capture the full complement of what humans do when they learn.

The problem is, even innateness in an animal includes a great deal of plasticity. It is very wibbly.

i think this is a category error: the proper distinction, as i argued in the birth of the mind, is between prewiring and rewiring. those two processes complement each other.

innateness = inductive biases and computational principles in the learning architecture before any fitting?

sure, but that can encompass some stuff far from what he have been discussing, eg the algorithms behind Microsoft Excel's flash fill.
