I've been thinking a lot about this article lately:
Your Brain Does Not Process Information and it is Not a Computer
it says (which Claude tells me is a well known observation fuck you Claude) (I'm sorry Claude thanks for helping me with stuff) that humans always think we or our brains are just biological (the latest thing we invented) so it used to be that we said oh brains are just a bio computer, before that apparently we were like oh the brain is a telegraph, all the way back to Adam's favorite book the bible where we're saying oh we're dirt and spirit. The point is kind of that we're never right. According to the article the brain doesn't actually work very much like a computer at all. You can already hear people starting to say/think oh we're just LLMs, we just get an input and then associate and spit out associations. I think the author of the article would say no, totally wrong but I'd kind of say it looks to me more like we're approaching an asymptote, I think brains are a lot more like computers than they are like dirt, and I kind of think they're more like LLMs than computers. I doubt we'll reach the asymptote, but it sometimes feels like we're approaching something.
Pizza out.
What do you think is going to happen with AI? Right now it seems like it could be anything. End of humanity, start of a golden age or a dark age, it could be a mildly useful computer assistant program or it could crash the economy. Go on record just for fun, make a prediction.
