" The key difference between neural evolution and machine learning is that machine learning has to scale infinitely to improve the resolution of a domain. Neural evolution intentionally limits input of information and endures nonetheless. Machine learning sort of enjoys this methodology via knockouts, but neural evolution has knocked out 99.9999999% of reality to get the 2 billion year winning streak it has. That kind of loss is unacceptable for machine learning.
Tech giants will not achieve growth in China or Africa without paying massive cost. European regulations have hammered them. The trend of nationalism will fragment the free connectivity conditions that made those tech giants possible. P&G pulled a huge amount of money out of digital ads and bots and ad blockers are on the rise. Facebook pulled a $9B buyback after the hearings to reduce stock volume and drive prices up. They will most likely pull a Yahoo! and turn into VCs to survive. Google has already reorged into Alphabet in anticipation of this growth cap.
I foresee a time when these players will desperately seek to be nationalized to save themselves. This will be disastrous for the development of machine learning as they will have completely isolated themselves from competitive forces in the name of “national security”."
As you have come about in the previous thread, you dropped the hint that humans have had their cognitive processes inverted through the institutionalization of ideologies.
I have had a hypothesis for awhile that Ideology is a mind virus that re-wires the human intelligence to shut off it's cognitive abilities for understanding (a formula of knowledge learned through human experience+emotion = understanding.)
When you study the minds of the pre-ideological societies (pagan rome, IE cultures, babylon) you have a striking similarity for all hero and mythological pantheistic archetypes: they all harnessed cognition vs fact collection.
I have had the same upbringing as you and with very similar experiences I drifted into marxism and economic socialism to address my own lack of stability because i believed it would be the only solution to force the adults to stop being children, when I discovered the state being run by the same perpetual youth cult and promoting marxism, I zoomed out and started observing processes instead of ideas and started putting together my hypothesis on ideological hindrances. One key finding of mine was that while under the spell of ideology, whether it was christianity or marxism, I acted like a robot. I collected information, mimic-ed human behavior and emotions to spread the ideology, and turned off my ability to learn and sustain my own needs.
"The trend of nationalism will fragment the free connectivity conditions that made those tech giants possible."
The most absolute, and recurring fatal mistake of the global observers, and their rulers, is that they believe in control methods and the ideological empire method instead of the nature based understanding method.
A World of nations is vastly more entrepreneurial than a world of slaves can ever be. Wealth comes from ideas, not control, and the religious destruction worship yields only temporary material results, with 0 power.
The tech giants have destroyed their ability to reach the goals of a truly connected world because they implemented the institutional destruction of human identity and emotion (anti-nationalism, anti-natalism, anti-nature) in favour of the most bland of shitty ideologies to ever gain power in the history of our human existence.
This is why national socialism will resurge, blast apart their lame empire, and allow human cognition to flourish again, with an acceptance of AI, and we will travel the stars together, which, was one of the original plans anyway.
