ML, deep learning, AI stalled theme this last week. I’d just like to mention what if we are dramatically underestimating by many orders of magnitude the computational, storage and bandwidth of organic brains? What if organic brains are using Quantum computing not yet discovered? I mean we had X17 news that opens possibilities that we are missing standard model physics. It just seems we humans have a bad habit in the historical past of being quite over confident in our level of understanding.
- lokimedes 7y agoHave a look at Roger Penrose’s The emperor's new mind. He has been widely critiqued by fellow physicists for invoking quantum mechanics to explain the brain, but perhaps he’s ideas resonate with you?
- nootropicat 7y agoFull agreement. A honey bee has ~1M neurons, yet is able to navigate complex environments utilizing visual, sound and olfactory information. Assuming identical physical capabilities, just how much computer processing power would it take to make something able to function as a bee? A cat is two orders of magnitude away from the human neuron count, yet its ability just to navigate the world [1] blows all existing ai out of the water, not to mention other behaviors. I don't know how to quantify it precisely, but it seems to me that linear increases in intelligence require exponential increases in computing power, both in digital ai and in animals.
