Wow, it is <i>really</i> interesting the difference in comments between ALife and AI stories on HN.<p>For some of you out there, there's a great book that really hasn't gotten enough attention called "The Self-Assembling Brain"
[1] that explores intelligence (artificial or otherwise) from the perspectives of AI, ALife, robotics, genetics, and neuroscience.<p>I hadn't realized the divide was a sharp as it is until I saw the difference in comments. i.e. this one[2] about GPT-5 has over 1000 comments of emotional intensity while comments on OP story are significantly less "intense".<p>The thing is, if you compare the fields, you would quickly realize that which we call AI has very little in common which intelligence. It can't even habituate to stimuli. A little more cross disciplinary study would help is get better AI sooner.<p>Happy this story made it to the front page.<p>[1]: <a href="https://a.co/d/hF2UJKF" rel="nofollow">https://a.co/d/hF2UJKF</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42485938">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42485938</a>
