That book, not the article. I can’t recall if it makes a convincing argument about consciousness, but it has a lot to say about general intelligence. I thought the neuroscience parts were a little cumbersome, but still worth the read.


Easier said than done. That’s kind of the purpose of an individual neuron approach I think. I don’t see a way that a bulk retrain is reasonable because it takes a long time, uses a lot of resources, and also requires you to have your whole training corpus handy all the time. Your brain is not doing a wholesale rewrite for every new memory, and new memories often chain together. I don’t think you can just say “ah well, let’s update the RAG or do another supervised fine tune with LoRA or something”. At present, we just don’t really have the machinery in the models to do simultaneous learning, inference, and forward planning.


I’m not a neurologist or a philosopher so I think this may not be something I can speak intelligently about, but it seems to me that the question doesn’t really live in the function approximation, but in the gaps. Doing a single train of thought is the easy part. I think what you need is an “always online” feature to keep thinking and some way to be stateful (make memories) without constantly retraining the whole network or whole sets of layers.
This is, I think, the benefit of the parallelism and asynchrony of the “individual neuron” discussed in the book.


It isn’t, but that’s not how LLMs are built. If you want to go that route, you can read Jeff Hawkins 1000 brains.
The short and sweet is he argues you can’t get artificial general intelligence the way we make LLMs, you need to basically create neurons and let them connect and interact in novel ways.
Linear algebra in neural networks isn’t really that, despite the name.

Ah yes. Beginner.
It was worth the wait.


I heard Mormon teens use that turn of phrase for a different thing.
Sounds like something the Russia might say… 🧐

I think it depends what you’re cooking. Of course it’s not cheaper to eat at home on the days that I’m busting out dry aged prime ribeye. But the days that I’m doing teriyaki chicken bowls on the grill over rice, that’s obscenely cheaper than like $15 per person fast food meals.


You’ll feel better and it’s likely to take you less time than ordering and waiting for something to show up. If you’re just doing pick up, it will save you 2/3 of the money you’re working doubles to make and then lighting on fire to eat fast “food”.
If you’ve got a rice cooker and a toaster oven I’ve got a couple of recipes less than 10 mins of actual work. I understand not wanting to work too hard at it too though.


Cheaper to eat at home.
False. Any dollar amount over like $20 and the onion is a good choice unless you must eat the skin. I’m which case IDK a hundo is probably sufficient.
