Please explain how this comment was unsubstantive and baity.

Number of cats that can meow: ~1000000000000?

Number of cats that can beat Stockfish: 0

And therefore meowing is simpler than beating Stockfish which was parent's point.

A trillion cats meowing at once would obviously destroy the earth.

Number of humans that can leverage computers to beat Stockfish: At least the number of humans on the Deep mind team.

Number of humans that can create AlphaZero:At least the number of humans on the Deep mind team.

Number of computers that can independently create AlphaZero: 0

Give it 10 years maybe.

Where does this estimate come from? You’re talking about an event with no precedence, nothing even close.

Bascically a function winAt(“chess”) and another function with no knowledge of chess that can implement the first.

What are you modeling that suggests something like that in 10 years?

Try again with: Number of humans that could assemble a Ferrari from discrete parts: who have never seen a car before, have no training to build or maintain a car, and no instructions other than "car must work."
