I suspect biological brains have a pretty groundbreaking hack to solve the long-term short term learning problem. Maybe involving sleep. What I mean by that is that AIs, the way they are currently built, need to learn very slowly on short term inputs or they overfit. Whereas humans can learn something just by explanation short term and don't have overfitting problems. I suspect this is solved by sleep, and I haven't seen AI with a similar mechanism.

How is sleep involved? There are a lot more differences than sleep.

That's an interesting take. I'll have to sleep on it and get back to you.

Memory in the brain has a tree-like structure, kind of like an abstract syntax tree. When Starship returns to the launchpad and sticks the landing on the launch tower, I guess A.I. will have progressed a little bit more.
