Reply to [Discussion] If ML is based on data generated by humans, can it truly outperform humans? by groman434

I think with an ability to understand, it would be able to outpace humans. In a sense outperform, so I'd say yes. I find the research being done (I think by Nvidia) on recovering color and shape data from sparse images really interesting. It goes beyond what I'd imagine possible.

There is a youtube channel, TwoMinutePapers. Highly recommend it

Reply to New study suggests that music and dance may have evolved (in part) to deter potential predators: these "highly synchronized visual and auditory displays" signal to the predator that a) they have been detected, and b) the targeted group can mount a well-coordinated defense. by fotogneric

Humans are diurnal though and early predation and indeed current predators are often nocturnal ones. Wouldn't such a display very clearly mark when you are "most defended" as well as least defended? This seems bogus to me. Humans have had flutes for entertainment, drums of war is nothing new, death whistles, whistling arrows. I think early homids are smarter than "researchers" give them credit for
