IDK, that seems like how brains work, and brains are pretty cool. They guess all the time in order to save time.

IDK, that seems like how brains work, and brains are pretty cool. They guess all the time in order to save time.
- lmm 4y agoCitation needed. The way I see it brains have a lot of baked in behaviour that isn't tuned at runtime, e.g. the length of time that different types of things are kept in different types of memory is remarkably consistent.
- staticassertion 4y agoIt's definitely an extremely well supported fact that brains make predictions about the future in order to optimize various things.
- lmm 4y agoIf your argument is "anything that attempts to make predictions is a good idea because it's like a brain", that seems enormously fallacious.
- staticassertion 4y agoMy argument is that brains are cool, brains do this thing, ergo this thing might be cool.
- lmm 4y agoIf "this thing" is just "making predictions", that's still so broad as to be more or less meaningless.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoIn fairness, that's a source of bugs in our brains, too.
