This strategy won't work anymore, because old OKCupid style "long form" profiles are gone. Modern dating profiles have the equivalent of a twitter bio worth of stuff on them now.

I think, in really broad terms, in order to get AGI actually we would need to do better than nature.

If our metric is (intelligence)/(joule), nature seems pretty bad at a first glance: it took many trillions of lifetimes to achieve "general intelligence" *

But then again, on the big stuff like this, have we ever really beat nature? That asterisk is there because, sure, turning the earth's biosphere into computers would make us smarter, but... are we sure?

(And also: human = general?)

I have mostly programmed in Python and used np.array for nearly that entire time.

Do other languages handle multi dimensional arrays the same way that Python/numpy does? As elegantly? (or better?)
