The difference between evolution and gradient descent is sexual selection and predator/prey/parasite relations.
Agents running around inside everywhere—completely changes the process.
Likewise for comparing any kind of flat optimization or search to evolution. I think sexual selection and predator-prey made natural selection dramatically more efficient.
So I think it’s pretty fair to object that you don’t take evolution as adequate evidence to expect this flat, dead, temporary number cruncher will blow up in exponential intelligence.
I think there are other reasons to expect that though.
I haven’t read these 500 pages of dialogues so somebody probably made this point already.
