I disagree with this take because you grok English not only from the text you read, but also from the context of physical world around you. And that context is enormous: assuming 8000x8000x2 vision with 3 color 1 byte channels at 24fps without compression, you get 3e+17 bytes (300 petabytes) of data along with your reading per year.
- ralfd 5y agoBlind children can learn english fine though. And there are areas highly unmaterial (mathematics) which people still reason about.
- lostmsu 5y agoYou ignored the point. I only brought sight as an example (though, admittedly, it is the largest data inflow).
- hugh-avherald 5y agoHumans have to learn sight while learning speech though. I don't mean knowing that this is a dog, I mean making sense of noisy vision inputs.
