I think we're hoping for more than the 'infinite monkeys bashing out semantically correct code' approach.

Ok, define what means and make it. Then as soon as you do realize you run into Gödel’s understanding your machine doesn’t solve problems related to its own existence and needs outside help. So you need to generate that yet unseen solution that lacks context for understanding itself… repeat and see it’s exactly generating one yet unseen layer of logic after another.

Read the article; his younger self failed to see logic needed now. Add that onion peel. No such thing as perfect clairvoyance.

Even Yann LeCun’s energy based models driving robots have the same experience problem.

Make a computer that can observe all of the past and future.

Without perfect knowledge our robots will fail to predict some composition of space time before they can adapt.

So there’s no probe we can launch that’s forever and generally able to survive with our best guess when launched.

More people need to study physical experiments and physics and not the semantic rigor of academia. No matter how many ideas we imagine there is no violating physics.

Pop culture seems to have people feeling starship Enterprise is just about to launch from dry dock.
