How We The Humans Build

👷‍♂️✈️🖥️

• 🧮 Computers find it easier to solve complex math than identify a fruit in a basket.
• 🧠 Calculators were developed earlier than computer vision–capable machines.
• 👁️‍🗨️ Humans can do computer vision tasks much better than complex math.

• 🌍 Species evolve out of nature, geography, and the need to replicate.
• 🛠️ Humans build things out of necessity.
• ⏩ The evolution of what we build is much faster (centuries/decades/months) than biological evolution (thousands of years).

• 🐟 A submarine doesn’t look like a fish, and an airplane doesn’t flap its wings.
• ✈️ Both are much better at the core thing we want: travel in the ocean or air.
• ⚙️ Maybe not as efficient as nature, but definitely faster and more powerful.
• 🧬 Nature achieved efficiency over thousands of years through necessity.
• 🔧 What we build outperforms nature on other benchmarks—because it’s built for our needs.

• 🛞 The wheel is one of the best examples of something not built by nature.

• 🤖 The AI we want to build—or whatever humans may evolve into—doesn’t need to resemble the humans that came before.
