no, you're misreading this. First, you can't extrapolate that out, the sample was of cortical tissue which while expansive is just a thin layer. Second, thats the size of the imaging data, it doesn't mean anything about human compute in the slightest.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoHence why I said "raw organic data." I didn't say memories or exactly the space of an actual brain. Plus, it's just a simple fun way to think of something in terms we can understand. I as well as everybody else is fully aware it's not that simple.
- burnished 5y agolet me put it another way; you could apply your analysis to detailed imaging of an apple slice and walk away with the same conclusion. it is fun but oversimplified to the point that it doesn't make any sense even if you squint. the size of the data is proportional to the quality of the image here, not to anything in the brain. and honestly I don't think you or anyone else is fully aware it's not that simple. brains are.. just so complicated.
