like for example i guess you could say if your utility function is bimodal, it's not based on similarity to an ideal
@VesselOfSpirit including their capacity to appreciate elegant/simple encodings of complexity - brute effectiveness doesn't do this

@sarahdoingthing e.g. new art forms are just weird at first until your brain somehow absorbs an ideal they're shooting for -
@VesselOfSpirit would it be right to paraphrase this by saying you can see how it "fits" within a structure/tradition/school? - 3 more replies

@sarahdoingthing "brain abstracts ideal structures somehow from sensory inputs and then beauty is similarity to one of the structures" -
@VesselOfSpirit not ideal structures at all - just ones that are appreciable by meat brains - 3 more replies

@sarahdoingthing i think probably things like fit and complexity are part of it and then part is about non-unifiable human reward buttons -
@VesselOfSpirit you can't brute force beauty by optimizing for some reward button (pleasure, longing) but I think you can brute force beauty - 1 more reply

@sarahdoingthing and then probably there's nontrivial structure to the reward buttons in the same way that notes combine in chords somehowThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sarahdoingthing still seems introspectively plausible in some cases although not sure if it's really an alternative hypothesisThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
