My shit ass wetware needs to lock in and catch up. It can’t even run Doom or play back Bad Apple properly.
Visualise playing Doom in your head. It’s free, and the cops can’t stop you.
Efficiency wins out.
My brain has the same power draw as a Switch 2? This explains a lot…
If you ever study biochemistry, it leaves you absolutely in awe. The best engineering we can do is pretty amazing, we have computers and airplanes and all this magic stuff, but the stuff in you is a hundred, a thousand times better made. It’s stunning. Comparatively speaking, it is perfect. And that’s only the stuff we understand. The stuff in your brain, we do not.
The fact that we only recently mapped out the brain really tells you a lot about its complexity.
I remember a quote from Civ along the lines of “if the brain was simple enough for us to understand, our minds would be to simple to understand it.”
Hold my nanostructured beer.
But there was no switcharoo
Antivirus protection could be better, though. Oh, and the built in self destruct is kind of a bummer, too.
It is a planned obsolescence.
Figernails are so annoying
If you ever need to claw your way out of a heap of rubble, you’ll be thankful for them.
I think this might be a case of expecting a fish to climb a tree. Brains are terrible in fp32 performance, and computers are so far not great at reasoning. But that’s mostly because they are made for different things. I’m not sure of this, but i would expect a single neuron firing costing a similar amount of energy as a single transistor firing. The difference is in part that they work differently, but I think the most important part is that they are put together differently. Computers were made for arithmetic while brains evolved for socialising and survival. For most other things you are 100% correct though, we could not recreate a bee or an ant even if we wanted to.
I can create real time visual imagery with no apparent resolution limit or perceptible frame rate including audio and a soundtrack.
Apparent and perceptible are the key words here. Your brain makes up pretty much everything and pretends it’s the real deal. Detail and consistency really aren’t all that great actually, much like ai video generation
A lotta people have a resolution limit and use glasses to compensate
Not in their minds.
In the relatively short amount of time we’ve had with computers we’ve made pretty astounding progress though. If we had had a few million years to improve those silicon brains I think we’d give evolution a run for its money!
Yea, our engineered stuff might be simplistic compared to the brain and biology, but evolution is just a combination of luck, randomness and “unguided” trial and error. There’s no “thought” to evolution and that’s why we end up with all these…weird quirks and flaws LMAO
those quirks are all features, i swear
Natural selection is essentially just a massively parallel Monte Carlo optimization algorithm that’s been running for billions of years. It’s so simple yet produces such amazing complexity.
Give it a few more billion and we’ll finally have an intelligence, that’s not hell bent on destroying itself.
Watch this whenever you think humans have rivalled nature in building stuff that works.
Nature’s crafts in unrivaled
It makes me wish I believed in God.
You’re allowed to have a type of awe and reverence for the natural world, very much akin to religion, without needing to buy into any bullshit along with it.
It used to be pretty standard, and then the Christians (among others) fucked that up for everyone, and now you can’t be anything other than an aggressive humanist atheist without people starting to make assumptions about you.
careful what you wish for. year’s not over…
If Christ returned, I’d be an instant convert
Sounds like agnosticism to me 🤝🤝
But would you mind if it turned out to be a immensely powerful alien disguised as a guy from our own past ?
At least, that seems more likely to me…
If Batman appeared I would also immediately start believing in him.
That doesn’t make me Batman-agnostic though.
Most atheists fall under the agnostic atheist banner

After all, science distinguishable from magic is merely insufficiently advanced
I’d personally want to kill them for creating such evil and suffering in the world.
In the end, humans choose evil. Most people don’t want to be a robot. So there is free will, free to choose. But when they could use free-will to do good they choose and do evil.
Babies get cancer. That’s not humans choosing evil. If there is a god that created a baby just to get cancer and die before age 3, that god is evil.
There are hospitals trying their best to help with that, and you have people bombing hospitals for babies with cancer.
Animals eat animals. Isn’t that evil? By that entire life is cruel, and I don’t get why a god should have to take blame for it. It just seems to push away responsibility of doing good vs evil.
This article estimates that GPT-4 took around 55 GWh of electricity to train. A human needs maybe 2000 kcal (2.3 kWh) a day and lives 75 years, for a lifetime energy consumption of 63 MWh (or 840x less than just training GPT-4).
So not only do shitty “AI” models use >20x the energy of a human to “think,” training them uses the lifetime energy equivalent of hundreds of humans. It’s absolutely absurd how inefficient this technology is.
Human energy needs are incredibly variable so the estimates for normal consumption are wrong for most people, but when you get into essential systems (basically cardiovascular and nervous, not even including digestive or any muscle movement) you actually need even less - the average (by weight, height & age) man needs 1950kcal or so and the average woman (by height, weight & age) needs 1450kcal or so
When we replace AI with brains in jars I’m sure we can cut it down even more though
I think you underestimate how much time and energy it took to get us to this point. Like, billions of years of evolution to arrive at a brain as efficient as ours.

Did you just externalise all the other inputs?
It’s usually a lot faster in producing outputs though.
How many R in strawberry ?
how many R not in strawberry?
depends what age your brain is, a 1 year old brain wouldn’t have a clue… and number of mental defects or how intoxicated the person is or whether you have vocalisation issues, health issues, if your brain is shut down/asleep for however many hours overnight it won’t be able to tell you anything, ai ofc doesn’t have these issues
training them uses the lifetime energy equivalent of hundreds of humans
it’s very likely actual electricity use will soon not be an issue, we are already flooded with too much solar power during the day, in maybe as little as 10 or so years we may have so much solar and battery we have essentially unlimited renewable power
on top of all of this ai is in its infancy, who knows where it will be at in 100 years, maybe jobs are a thing of the past and we just spend all day socialising and spending time on our hobbies

That could be true in the future, but right now a large chunk of our energy comes from fossil fuels.

Any AI that can take a significant amount of work from humanity is going to have an architecture fundamentally different than LLMs. They’re not thinking, they’re just spitting out plausible sounding sentences.
Just connect your brain up to a monitor and imagine your game with the best graphics you can possibly think of.
Ever heard of daydreaming? A monitor is not even needed
Capitalism has us by absolute fools.
Paying $69.99 for something someone else dreamed up.
We have a solution for this, its called going to sleep.
I think I got the shareware version where it kicks me off after a few hours.
I’ve tried some of the free mods, but I can’t really recommend them. Definitely steer clear of frying-pan to the dome, and you won’t get any real lasting effect from hold your breath till you’re blue.
I remember listening to a podcast with indy devs and they agreed that engaging player’s imagination is the best way to make sure your game succeeds. And most indy games don’t have the budget for super good graphics.
20% of our body’s energy use is our brain, it’s a major energy expenditure.
Compared to what, >50% for a 4090 in a PC?
That’s 50% of your households energy
My GPU can compute stuff faster than your brain though.
Your GPU might tell you to glue cheese to your pizza, but at least it’s fast!
It also has a lot of FLOPS. Do you have a lot of FLOPS?
Well if you want to turn this into a dick measuring contest…
I can generate an image in my head faster than your GPU
But you can’t generate it faster in an output format that is visible to others than my GPU.
Except very simple sketches possibly.
My brian not do hard maths stuff tho
