It seems clear to me that there is an IQ cutoff below which one cannot be an effective programmer. And this cutoff is actually quite high, comparatively. I'd be very surprised if more than 5 percent of the population, with the current

Universalize that statement and apply it to X demographic not choosing a STEM degree and you'll find yourself in a struggle session.

If we replace degenerate alleles with the most-common version of that allele, isn't that pretty safe? It would have been tested on billions of people naturally.

The human brain has 100 trillion synapses. So it would be 17 iterations of Moore's law for computing power to increase 100000x. That's what I was thinking. Wrong to assume NNs are no more efficient than brains. You know way more a

That's fraud not crowdfunding. If it's a sincere attempt to start a business, crowdfunding seems like a fine idea. Though I agree, it is a lemon market and I wouldn't participate myself. Many people will lose money doing thi

Naive trend-extrapolation (assuming 1 synapse == 1 parameter) implies 17 iterations of Moore's law before we get human level AI, or some sort of ASIC, I suppose. This is what made me think human-level AI is a ways off. Brain dead trend

I was comparing parameter counts to synapse counts, not neuron counts.

So the largest are about the size of a bee brain? Amazing how many applications you can get from insect-brain sized networks, about a hundred thousand times smaller than a human brain if a parameter is at all analogous to a synapse. Seems l

Naive question, how many parameters do most large models have?

This is both obviously correct and politically unfeasible.

You have to appease selection pressures. They are facets of reality. You can do it in ways that doesn't involve suffering, or you can allow a natural solution to take hold.

This isn't a dupe. It's a response to the other article with a similar title. I've reposted under a less-confusing title.
