      until AI gets over its allergy to innateness, it’s not likely to get very far.https://twitter.com/TonyZador/status/1193176924497096706 …

      Current AI doesn't even get near *mouse* intelligence--and a great deal of what mice (and most other animals) do is innate. If we could get achieve artificial mouse intelligence, we'd have a good foundation for human intelligence.

      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.

      only because of a preference to evolve intelligent capabilities instead of reverse engineering a design from written language, modern computer systems and logic

      copying from the best? (nature) I imagine there is a lot of culture / taste / preference in these choices —- in mine, yours and everyones

      mine is also about copying the best, from nature.I wrote a full monograph on why humans have about half the things in the list below; Liz Spelke devoted her career to most of the rest. You are dismissing her work and mine.pic.twitter.com/WnnPvkUuiI

      how am I dismissing it? I was jist saying there are traditions in AI (namely alife and evolutionary computing) that are expliitly concerned with innateness There are lots of good things on that list, I neither dismissed nor endorsed it

      you seem to dismiss symbol-manipulation because it comes from somewhere other than “nature.” but my life’s work has to been to show that symbol-manipulation is part of human nature. spelke similarly has shown eg that spatiotemporal contiguity is part of human nature.

      I don’t dismiss symbol manipulation, I just view it as amongst our most advanced capabilities /inventions and find the underlying more animal primitives more interesting some of my best friends are symbol manipulators!

      all of the human ones. the thing is was asking for an argument about why not implement my list, and you said it was taste about copying from nature. even newborns seem to manipulate symbols (see judit gervain’s followup to my 1999 science study)

          At what point do you see 'symbol manipulation' arising in biology? Is this a capability that is solely available for present-day humans? What about humans prior to literature? Humans prior to civilization? Humans prior to language?

          i see some evidence for limited forms in bees, primates, perhaps other animals ; presumably all humans
