The brains structure is derived from dna but it contains learning capabilities that comes after the initial creation. Pretty much like how 5 lines of code can get you image recognition, of course it uses lots of libs, but I can still do that myself with 5 lines. The training is the hard part
- seanhunter 4y agoYes exactly. The only training we know of currently that works is for a biological human being to live a decent proportion of their life. For me his statement is one of those things that is sort of not even wrong, like when people say humans only have two eyes and can drive a car therefore an automated driving system must be possible with only cameras. On the face of it, this seems like it could be true but of course it handwaves away the hardest and most mysterious part of intelligence and focusses instead on the easy bit that we already know reasonably well. It's exactly like if someone said they had a secret formula to be an NBA superstar which is: 1. Be really tall 2. Be really agile 3. Be really good at basketball Like yeah of course but all the hard parts are left out.
- sn9 4y agoIs the training the hard part? Is that not what humanity has developed from centuries/millennia of experience with all the approaches to child raising and education? Engineering something trainable is clearly the difficult part given the entire conversation is about whether or not it's even possible.
