"not human level. Something with the motion planning and survival capabilities of a squirrel" I think you're underestimating how smart a squirrel is.

I think you're underestimating how smart a squirrel is.

- Animats 5y agoIt's an indication that we're missing something. A squirrel has somewhere around 75 million to 100 million neurons. That's not all that many in terms of modern hardware. We ought to be able to build squirrel-level AI with cellphone-sized hardware. What are we missing?
- rsj_hn 5y agoThere is a big jump from "let's create some algorithms and data structures inspired by a simple model of the brain and see what kind of problems these algorithms are useful for" to "why doesn't our model fully and faithfully represent an actual brain". The first of these questions has led to real progress in things like image recognition, whereas the second of these questions has not led any real progress in digitizing squirrel brains.
- Animats 5y agoOpenWorm is, after years of work, up to nematode level.[1] Their WormSim is an emulation, at the neuron level, of the simplest creature whose nervous system has been fully mapped. 302 neurons, 25 muscle cells. Runs in a browser. So true bottom-up is not hopeless. [1] https://openworm.org/ https://openworm.org/
