AI's True Triumph: Cracking Microbial Evolutionary Compute via Backpropagation
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-07
The author suggests that AI's ultimate breakthrough will lie in novel microbiological templates. The evolutionary compute invested in optimizing viruses and bacteria is many orders of magnitude greater than what produced human brains. It is time to see if backpropagation and intelligent design can outperform natural evolution.
