Except our brain wasn’t built by meta-neural networks.
Its development is governed by a DNA algorithm.
Our DNA program is changing slowly by evolution, but at any given time, the design we have is one design intended to work well across all survival problems.
Each of us doesn’t have a brain architecture that our body custom designed for some different set of problems or data.
Not critiquing the tech. Critiquing some of its rationalization.
- vacuity 3y agoOur brains indeed are not quite like neural networks, but evolution isn't uniform for everyone, including in terms of brain development. There's also sexual dimorphism and epigenetics to consider. A lot more haphazard than custom designing, that's for sure.
- kbelder 3y agoBut the expression of the brain as it grows is very dynamic, influenced by many factors outside the genetic, including itself, self-referentially. You could pretty easily raise one twin as an imbecile and the other as competent, purely by the means of changing their sensory inputs during the phase of brain development. If you had no scruples, of course.
