The story points out the two previous times that a new and much better type of optimization process appeared. There’s no particular reason to think that there will never be another one, and it seems plausible that a sufficiently good optimization process that works on itself (1) could be the third and (2) could run on a computer.
Is this historical story of optimization predictively applicable or just a story?
