Yeah, the brain is alive and is trying to keep the rest of the organism alive But n an environment.

- circuit10 3y agoThat’s clearly not a useful way to define intelligence though
- ben_w 3y agoOne could reasonably say that's merely what the statistics are doing, not evidence to deny that the brain is just statistics.
- goatlover 3y agoStatistics is about the likelihood of events happening. It's not the things themselves. A brain isn't a statistical model. It's a bunch of living cells. It may do the equivalent of statistical modeling for some activities, like predicting what comes next. But it's more than just a model. Models are like maps. We make them.
- ben_w 3y agoThat the brain is made of cells seems no more important to "why might an LLM not be as intelligent as a brain?" than the fact that cells are made of chemicals and the chemicals are fancy quantum fields that can be modelled as differential equations of a complex valued wave equation such that the squared magnitude of the wave corresponds to a probability.
