You would think that if you can figure out how to power (with solar) and cool down a datacenter in space (without water) then you can do it on Earth for a fraction of the price?

It’s both probably. Another thought I keep having is that the brain is arranged in a way that facilitate levels of parallelism that chips are soooooo far from achieving. The computation model is just so different. It’s got to have something to do with it.

There’s something big missing indeed. I like the theory that intelligence actually requires the whole body to operate. Nature would have never evolved a brain in a vat. Constant sensory input and the ability to act on the world I think forms a feedback loop without which intelligence cannot arise.

They may have different tokenization? I mean, it makes no sense not to consider “a” a single token, but you never know.

that is gradient descent. We have the ability to learn lifelong lessons from a single occurrence, and we don’t really know how this works. The day we have computers that learn without relying on gradient descent of similar statistical methods, we’ll have something real interesting to talk about.

I don’t know about drawing a distinction between computers in general and human brains when it comes to processing data, but if we restrict ourselves to what we call AI these days, the main distinction IMO is that AI can only update its “brain” through the absolutely tedious and wasteful process

It doesn’t involved direct sense data. It does evolved historical, heavily processed sense data accumulated over your entire life.

… reported by the big AI companies is likely to be highly inflated as a result, and not indicative of conversion to usage patterns conducive to making revenue (subscriptions). The bet is, would ChatGPT and other tools like it disappear from the face of the Earth, most people would cope quite well.

I think those people are misunderstanding and distorting a genuine criticism re:adoption. The issue is that the tech industry has never been this aggressive in flooding the zone with AI tools everywhere. They have been made largely unavoidable, and by consequence, the suspicion is that usage…
