Which is the more advanced life form? C. Elegans or LLM? I vote LLM.
- someothherguyy 2y agoc. elegans can reproduce autonomously, can source its own energy inputs, etc. also, last i checked, an llm doesn't meet the definition of life form.
- sambeau 2y agoC. Elegant can suffer from depression, exhibiting some behaviours similar to humans with depression.
- isaacfrond 2y agoWell, by definition we are simulation LLMs just fine, but per the article we are utterly failing on Elagans, so it seems the smart money is on the latter.
- idiotsecant 2y agoMore complex and more advanced are not the same thing. Evolution produces a lot of twisty little passages that are only that way because it happened to work.
- 0x000xca0xfe 2y agoLLM research has a much bigger budget than C. Elegans research.
- fossgeller 2y agoThat says more about the industrializaton of scientific research than anything. LLMs is the new hype product of tech companies. Wait a couple years and the interest will die out. Maybe we’ll live the day when true neuroscience (none of that Andrew Huberman stuff) will be trending.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoDoesn’t mean it’s more complex though. It just means the complexity is harder to capture and copy. LLMs are built via algorithm. Given enough data and a large enough neural network the complexity of an LLM is boundless. I guess my question is are existing LLMs more complex?
- jxkdbdndbeb 2y agoI would please advise you to study biology ... The amount of cool shit that goes on at a microscopic level will amaze you
- jxkdbdndbeb 2y agoAlso c. Elegans hands down
