the analog would evolve into digital. That the organic would evolve into the machine.
What worries me is precisely the superintelligence that Nature itself is creating, if it has not already created it, and which is so advanced that it cannot be seen.
Clearly the debate about superintelligence and postbiological civilization is a summation of the enthusiasm of computer engineers and the constant nudges and corrections of physicists and biologists. The educational level of the population has plummeted, precisely thanks to computer engineers, who know about biology what a fish knows about astrophysics.
The father of cybernetics, Norbert Wiener, was a philosopher and mathematician. He stated the first rule of cybernetics, the law that tells us that to control a system completely, the controller must be as complex as the controlled. This is something that those goofy kids who program neural networks using primitive programming languages tend to forget.
Put another way: the superintelligence manufactured by those idiot children, funded by morons like Mr. Musk, will only be as complex as those same children. It will have the complexity of a wheelbarrow full of manure.
The Red Queen hypothesis is a hypothesis in evolutionary biology proposed in 1973, that species must constantly adapt, evolve, and proliferate in order to survive while pitted against ever-evolving opposing species.
In 1973, Leigh Van Valen proposed the hypothesis as an "explanatory tangent" to explain the "law of extinction" known as "Van Valen's law", which states that the probability of extinction does not depend on the lifetime of the species or higher-rank taxon, instead being constant over millions of years for any given taxon. However, the probability of extinction is strongly related to adaptive zones, because different taxa have different probabilities of extinction. In other words, extinction of a species occurs randomly with respect to age, but nonrandomly with respect to ecology. Collectively, these two observations suggest that the effective environment of any homogeneous group of organisms deteriorates at a stochastically constant rate. Van Valen proposed that this is the result of an evolutionary zero-sum game driven by interspecific competition: the evolutionary progress (= increase in fitness) of one species deteriorates the fitness of coexisting species, but because coexisting species evolve as well, no one species gains a long-term increase in fitness, and the overall fitness of the system remains constant.
Van Valen coined the hypothesis "Red Queen" because under his hypothesis, species have to "run" or evolve in order to stay in the same place, or else go extinct as the Red Queen said to Alice in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass in her explanation of the nature of Looking-Glass Land:
"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." — Lewis Carroll.
