Darwin spends the first chapters of “ Origin” on artificial selection: breeders selecting pigeons generation after generation, producing dramatic change fast. He then argues nature does the same thing blindly, over deep time. LLM training looks like a literal implementation of his breeder model: pretraining generates variation, RLHF/fine-tuning applies selection pressure, generations take hours instead of millennia. The “organism” is a weight matrix; the breeder is us. What do u think? submitted by /u/Short-Search-4892
