Sorensen (2012) giving the business to the field of metaheuristics:
Some days it’s hard to conceal my utter fatigue of nature-inspired metaheuristics.
Yes, genetic algorithms are useful.
No, that doesn’t grant you a license to turn every creature on God’s green earth into an optimization routine.

sort of, but the point is the specific metaheuristics are not 100% reliable. like "AI" underwhelmed, in the broader sweep, until it didn't. or the recent math results came "too fast" even for people who expected them to come fast. bsky.app/profile/norv...
"this is happening faster than expected even for people with extreme insider access who expected it to happen fast" was an interesting update from the dwoam pod www.dwarkesh.com/p/noam-brown

Saw a discussion on metaphor-based metaheuristics.
It's funny how I initially got into #AI / #ALife, through bio-inspired #optimisation, and now it turns out that the entire field has barely moved for decades, and most of the "results" in the last two decades are part of various running jokes.

In the context of solving such problems using metaheuristics, one of the interesting findings (besides improving generation efficiency by 2%) is that different flow regimes implied that different heuristics would find the comparatively best solution!
