Look, I don’t really know who Joscha Bach is, but I think it’s really weird that he talks to Epstein about machine learning in one email and then follow up with eugenics
This is a hypothesis that is shared by a growing number of people these days. In humans, it is reflected for instance by the fact that races with faster motor development have lower IQ. (In individuals of the same group, slower development often indicates defects, of course.) Another support comes from machine learning: we find that the same learning functions can learn visual and auditory pattern recognition, and even end-to-end-learning. Google has built automatic image recognition into their current photo app: http://blogs.wsj. com/digits/2015/07/01/go o gle-mistakenly-tags-black-p eop le-as-gorillas-showing-limits-o f-algorithms/ The state of the art in research can do better than that: it can begin to "imagine" things. I.e. when the experimenter asks the system to "dream" what a certain object looks like, the system can produce a somewhat compelling image, which indicates that it is indeed learning visual structure. This stuff is something nobody could do a few months ago: http://www.creativeai.net/posts/Mv4WG6rdzAerZF7ch/ synthesizing-preferred-inputs-via-deep-generator- HOUSE OVERSIGHT 026396 networks A machine learning program that can learn how to play an Atari game without any human supervision or hand-crafted engineering (the feat that gave DeepMind 500M from Google) now just takes about 130 lines of Python code. These models do not have interesting motivational systems, and a relatively simple architecture.

Exactly. I looked up the statistics, black kids in the US have slower cognitive development (and never catch up), which the study of course attributed to social factors without any evidence, and they had faster motor development! I suspect this means their brains are slower at learning high-level concepts, because the low-level structures are optimized for a shorter time. But they will keep the lead in motor development, because it is easier to learn, and they have more time and attention to practice once they get the structures in place. It could also be that they have an additional set of learning It could also be that they have an additional set of learning directives in place that adapts them better to a more hunting/running style of life, whereas the Europeans had to adapt for identifying long-term seasonal patterns, delayed gratification for agriculture etc. and CONCEPTS could be layer to layer communicaiton. . are gender differences also a matter of time, and structure of interactions. . I suspect gender differences are mostly motivational, i.e. we have a reward system for all the different social and cognitive needs, which makes us receive different kinds of pleasure and pain, thereby pay attention and learn. You cannot learn what does not attract your attention. Women tend to find abstract systems, conflicts and mechanisms intrinsically boring. Most women in computer science do not write programs because they enjoy solving puzzles, but because they want to help people, get approval etc. There are almost no women in math, because it does not help people or yield social attention.
