Agüera y Arcas Presents Intelligence As Computation

Blaise Agüera y Arcas recently published What Is Intelligence? (MIT Press/Antikythera), arguing computation underlies biological and artificial intelligence. He presents experiments using Brainfuck code showing emergent replicators after millions of iterations, and argues prediction-driven pattern formation could bridge narrow AI and AGI; the book reframes evolution and cognition through computation.
Scoring Rationale
Significant theoretical reframing with experimental examples; limited peer-reviewed validation and practical, immediately actionable results thus.
