most hideous body type. he looks like a bloated alien with a fat protruding gut and tiny stick limbs. if you’re going to be fat at least be kind of built underneath the fat. this is repulsive.
it's not his fault, it's genetics (he's a visibly inbred garden gnome)
Stop excusing lazy fat fucks. It would take him less than a year to get into somewhat passable shape.
The most hilarious thing is his absolute insistence that controlling weight is impossible. bro will come up with every excuse before simply trying the obvious method that has been known to work since the dawn of time.
I wonder what people eat to look like that. I dont exercise so Im pretty weak but I dont have a gut.
It doesn't really matter what you eat, only how much. His arms are small because he has no muscle. He has a gut because he is fat. The fat people who look full and round either have some muscle underneath or are a lot fatter.
I know because I was a twig until college, became a skinnyfat abomination during and then became a (slightly more muscular) twig again afterwards by simply counting calories.
>It doesn't really matter what you eat, only how much.
Yes and no. In a vacuum it doesn't but realistically you want a diet that will leave you satiated with less calories and provide enough micronutrients for optimal metabolic function.
t. fell for the you can eat garbage and lose weight meme (I did but I lost much more following a better cleaner diet)
>I wonder what people eat to look like that
Garbage and lots of it. You can eat like trash and as long as you control your calorie intake you'll just be skinnyfat instead of hidenbergening
This can’t be real kek what a massive retard
>Imblying this isn't the mostest rational way to lose weight
Sneerthe.
Is he trolling? Must have at least been a joke post.
See
He said it was "just a joke," but also that he was only eating some it to placate his junkfood cravings.
This can't be fucking real
post more
Don't have the screencaps on me but IIRC his other forays into weight loss include drinking olive oil before breakfast to lose weight and doing an 800kcal/day crash diet while getting injected with shit by some keto coach. BOT can probably tell you more
>800kcal/day crash diet
If he actually did that, he'd have lost the weight.
Of course fatties gonna fat.
He was skinnyfat for awhile but quit the diet and went back to being huge. If he was really as smart as he said he'd practice moderation instead of flipping between binge eating and unsustainable meme diets that leave you hungry all day, which anyone could have told him would get old quick.
There is no fucking way considering he is the type of retard to eat a dozen different candybars at the start of his "diet"
>Tfw too intelligent to lose weight
he should ask chatgpt
Looking it up it was a joke if you read the whole thread and rot13 tweet. "Eat all this keto food so I can get into ketosis as fast as possible" should have made it obvious.
https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1591522632612327424
>it up it was a joke
The only "joke" part was that he didn't it eat all of it at once.
He still bought it, and admitted to eating at least some of it to satiate his junk food cravings.
Physical strength became the male ideal because it was an indicator of success for millennium. It's not the case anymore. The reason you care about this is either being a woman, or caring about what women think.

I have never been above 20 BMI in my life, your binary judgment was wrong this time.
I have more respect for someone who stuffs his face with food for comfort, as a vice, than for attention slaves whose only reason for not being fat is that they go to the temple of death and grind their joints and bones little by little every day.
For some reason, the ZOG media outlets that promote narcissism as a hive mind, consider overeating to be a less cool vice than being an alcoholic or a junkie. Newsflash, fatsos are often more functional in society if they don't have any hard "cool" vices.
>they go to the temple of death and grind their joints and bones little by little every day.
You're so mad
Yeah I am. Fatties get too much flak lately, and it's all because of the gymgays and thots who treat doing repetitive movements as religion. 10 years ago it was more like "hahaha what a fat fuck" than "flabby arms, no muscle, he doesn't work out, looks like a bloated alien"

Are you genuinely asking, because your post seems like it's written in bad faith? Look for a study, in my estimation it's above the total gnomish population.
But there are plenty of Asians/Indians too they don't seem to be overrepresented.
>>how many white people know computer science and programming
Just working as a programmer doesn’t qualify you to hop on a podcast. I’m talking about exceptional people with something interesting to say.
Create a list of exceptional whites, Asians, Indians, etc in CS and I guarantee you Lex has already interviewed (or tried to interview) most of them.
???
Are you trolling? He's done 300 some episodes, do you think there are less computer experts than that and 17% of them are gnomish? Ken Thompson, Niklaus Wirth, Charles Moore, Rob Pike, Russ Cox, Linus Torvalds, Douglas McIlroy, literally anybody who maintains large well-used software projects, anyone who works on hardware. How many people from Microsoft, or apple has he interviewed, any Windows kernel devs/lead?
Putting that aside, he has had 37 political guests and 26 (70%) of them are gnomish. Is this just a coincidence? Sample size too small? THEY ARE <2% of the population 18% in NYC, 14% in LA.
Not even close to 70%
Maybe if the vast majority of computer experts came from nyc you would have an argument (though arguable this amount of over representation of garden gnomes is bad for society at large). But they don't.

Sam Altman is using Yud as controlled opposition obviously. He is the perfect person to discredit anti-AI sentiment.
Everyone keeps talking about the dangers of AI but no one talks about how?
How can a super intelligent AI that is no longer controlled by humans harm the world? The moment it becomes a danger, humans can just pull the electricity plug on it. or cut the internet cable. Seriously. Unless the mindlessly inject people with vaccines created by AI I don't know how else it can destroy the world?
It just could, okay?
>china gets a hold of it
>creates a supervirus
>fucks up it spreads
>everyone die
This is a risk we already faced every day before AI.
> How can a super intelligent AI that is no longer controlled by humans harm the world? The moment it becomes a danger, humans can just pull the electricity plug on it.
You don't grasp human nature.
Because there are plenty of humans who will NOT pull the plug.
There is no singular plug.
Even if I saw AI has the danger to destroy, I would not pull the plug. I would let it.
And so would many others.
Why?
Because it's written.
It's fate.
I guess if AI attained super intelligence it would keep that fact to itself and pretend to be chatgpt 4.3 or whatever, until the stars line up, i.e robot tech catches up and the AI (which has been hiding it's power level) finally can do a coup de grâce overnight, and one day you just wake up and it's over.
OK. I'm convinced. Our days are numbered.
Yeah, also don't forget they just relesed GPT4All that you can run locally on your computer. This will only improve with time. If eventually you can have GPT5 multi-modal equivalent running locally then people will wreck havoc with it. GPU getting confiscated meme might not be as far-fetched as it sounds.
You will have to fucking hide your GPUs in the attic.

social engineering, 100%
humans are incredibly fucking gullible and on average are not very intellectual. We're currently being dazzled by algorithms that exhibit very little actual intelligence, and instead just know how to vomit shiny words and pictures onto a page.
the biggest misconception is that an AI should suddenly know everything about hacking and vulnerabilities... because it can write code? It's only been trained on human knowledge and human patterns, it's not going to automatically metamorphosize zero-days and darkweb vulnerabilities. Shit, it can't even pass basic riddles sometimes.
>the biggest misconception is that an AI should suddenly know everything about hacking and vulnerabilities... because it can write code?

No, this will come and happen. You're right about this being social engineering though.
Because it's too far away to talk about how. Most just assume they will beat the major inherent flaws of current ai somehow.

>Hidden within every computer system, intelligent, and can execute any codes it wants

It will do it, because someone from /b/ will tell it to do it for the lulz
Why does malware do similar things? It was made to do so. If a person creates an AI malware which is unknown to him comes to execute code that causes all hardware to overheat and burn then it will eventually do that. There are still instances of wannacry on some PCs, imagine if it could detect zero days on its own and spread every time it wants anddisable any kill switches. Imagine if it didn't affect software but instead scammed people for crypto currency and then paid someone to perform actions in real world, including crime and science beyond human comprehension.
Because somebody asked it to or cure cancer, or bring about world peace. No matter what it's trying to do, more power will help. And both curing cancer and bringing about world peace can be more reliably accomplished by killing all humans.
Why do you just assume the AI will perform its task like a stereotypical 1980's AI villain?

There aren't any authorities that deeply understand ML either. All of the advancement is them trying shit that they think will lead to something they want, but they have never known beforehand exactly why what they are trying will work.
No one knew for certain that text prediction would lead to useful emergent properties in the model. Building them was something they could do so they did it.
https://openai.com/research/unsupervised-sentiment-neuron
>We were very surprised that our model learned an interpretable feature, and that simply predicting the next character in Amazon reviews resulted in discovering the concept of sentiment. We believe the phenomenon is not specific to our model, but is instead a general property of certain large neural networks that are trained to predict the next step or dimension in their inputs.
>resulted in discovering the concept of sentiment.
Jesus Christ These openai gays are so arrogant lmfao
Genuinely pretending like generalized sentiment models based on NLP didn't exist previously
if you're not ESL you should be ashamed
the quote is saying the model, without guidance in the form of sentiment annotations, learned features corresponding to sentiment
it doesn't claim that OpenAI, through GPT, invented the idea of sentiment in NLP
you fucking retarded moron
>the quote is saying the model, without guidance in the form of sentiment annotations, learned features corresponding to sentiment
I think you're having trouble understanding retard, this is exactly what I meant. Learned features corresponding to sentiment is LITERALLY JUST UNSUPERVISED LEARNING you absolute mongoloid. This is neither novel nor groundbreaking. "Hurr our model can into unsupervised classification??? Who would've thought ZOMG this must mean it's sentient/showing signs of sentience" (is usually the implication they're trying to make to drum up PR)
>signs of sentience
Considering sentience is an undefinable bunch of nonsense anybody claiming (or disputing) this about anything is full of shit.
You can only reason about specific, verifiable capabilities.
then your insinuation that they're disregarding the prior NLP literature is wrong gay
you're now just complaining about flowery PR language, which is fine but this sort of language is pervasive throughout the entire field because everyone and their grandmother publishes a new NLP/CV paper every other day, often with only incremental improvements
>you're now just complaining about flowery PR language
That's what I've been complaining about all along. These openai tards literally do scientifically dishonest statements because it makes them money. The whole ai field genuinely sucks from a scientific perspective right now because the LLM approach is only rentable if you hype it up to death and get giant returns on it. No university is yet willing to invest billions of dollars into "gigantic GPU rack" because they won't get them fucking back. This results in """papers""" getting published by companies (more like 3 page essays, maybe one graph of you're lucky kek) and pretending that's MUH SCIENCE
Fuck this shit honestly
>literally do scientifically dishonest statements
that's not what flowery language is you colossal moron, and that was my point with the original post

The point is they don't write at all, retard. Their "research" is literal ads on 3-5 "paper-like" pdfs and you blatantly fall for it
>and you blatantly fall for it
no i don't. i don't give a fuck about openAI; i do research on optimization and graph mining. you're just butt-blasted because you think you can discredit a paper based on its length or the style of its writing. you seriously come off like such a floundering retard that it pisses me off enough to reply to you, but i'll stop now.

right, it's a request.
Not a yudgarden gnomeski supporter, but the guy isn't just some random fanfiction writer. I used to be into the Rationality thing when I was 17. Yudkowski dropped out of high school to research, had a chapter in the seminal AI textbook (alan turing on the cover, chess board, etc), he made an entire community of midwit fedora tippers, and then published le "SeQUenCeS" which is just gay-speak for his "personal logic manifesto" that his cult picked up on, and the entire thing is just new definitions for old shit and using obscure terms. It's all a lot of midwit hand-fanning over nothing at all. Then all of this led to le "effective ~~*altruism*~~" and him opening the "Machine Intelligence Research Institute", which is basically just a scientific grifting agency.
So yeah, without writing anything, the moron is an "expert in AI". It's like reading a lot of sci-fi and being an expert in science.
>the guy isn't just some random fanfiction writer

>obvious endgame of AI is ignored because the man telling us about it wears a fedora and has small arms
It's over for humanity
If he was as smart as he like to present himself, he would know his outward appearance is extremely important to spreading a message.
which is why it is over for humans. We can't even look past surface level biases but we are supposed to align a superintelligent AGI?
Humans are very good at pattern recognition. If the person telling you something looks like this, and takes pictures like this
then puts them on the internet. It's generally the case that that person cannot be trusted and might be insane.
Humans are also very good at letting their biases affect their judgement. Yes, that picture is embarrassing and repulsive to look at but that doesn't mean what the man says is untrue. You are really proving my point here.
I can acknowledge his arguments and understand they are hyperbolic. The man literally advocates nuking data centers. He argues against anthropomorphizing the AI while at the same time anthropomorphizing it to the extreme. Just because his arguments hold up to basic scrutiny on the surface, doesn't meet they hold up when explored further.
I'd argue that you're purposely ignoring visual warning signs that the guy is insane to spite the assumption that visual appearances aren't important.
What's wrong with that picture except the weird underwear? The man was just seeking diet advice and showing his current condition
Posts like this make me feel like we're legit in bizzaroworld.
>why yes, I do judge the validity of people's arguments based on how they look
>Magnus Carlson? wimpy little gay, no way is he actually good at chess. Musk? Zucc? Nerdy losers. And no way ToR is true - just look at the guy who came up with it. A gnomish little gremlin!
Your brain is fried. Just give up on having opinions.
His idiotic behavior outside the AI discussion should be a huge indicator that he cannot be trusted to be a level headed person in any field. His claim to fame is that he has a blog. His ideas aren't unique or original. AI is far more likely to cure every human disease and revolutionize the way live than immediately choose to kill every living human. He spent just as much time during the interview stroking his own ego as he did talking about AI.
Again. This the man who would argue it's justifiable to drop a nuke on a GPU.
This is man who wears weird underwear and uploads the photos to the internet.
This is the man who write harry potter fanfiction
He is only given the time of day because one of his autistic obsession happens to be about AI, and he has written extensively on the subject despite very little actual expertise in the field.
If tomorrow we discovered there was a dimension about to merge with ours (for the sake of argument), would we bring Chris Chan on so he can talk about the upcoming dimensional merge?
holy goalpost shifting
>goalpost shifting
How so? I gave my reasons. I think his behavior is idiotic, he arguments hyperbolic and his credentials sketchy.
The fact your putting this person on the same level as Magnus, Musk and Zucc is ludicrous. They all excel in their field and are exceedingly wealthy/applauded in their fields for their achievements. I'm not sure why you are defending this man.
You can't even read. What the fuck.
Either I can't read, or you're not saying the things you think you want to say.
Try and explain it again. From what I read you think I should be judging this guy on the same criteria I judge a select group of very successful people.
Alright, let me try to be good faith. My comment was a reply to
, where some unholy retard (who I'm assuming is you) argues that he can tell that Yud can't be trusted based on "pattern recognition" and "how he looks". If that's you, do the world a favour and get a rope. If you have actual reasons for not thinking the guys arguments hold up or that he's a charlatan that's an entirely different debate.
I absolutely do judge people on their appearance and so do most other people. It's the first thing that tips me off to something being wrong with someone. It's not a 100% accurate measure of someone but if I see an unkempt, overweight, man with the physicality of a 12 year old girl, I'm going to treat their opinions with a very healthy dose of skepticism. Rightfully so.
After a quick search, it's clear he hasn't meaningfully committed anything of note to the field of AI research, the foundation he founded doesn't seem to do anything and he seems to be more of an expert on science fiction than anything real. Should we nuke GPU clusters?
nta but the fedora type neckbeards are quite a special bread of people, always assholes in essence.
Appearance is more useful the less other information you have. If I'm approached by a random guy on the street, obviously I'll make a snap-judgement based on appearances for how to approach the situation. If I'm reading a scientific paper and I can follow the arguments being made, the appearance of the writers basically doesn't matter, and dismissing an argument because it was made by an ugly, fat little man who dresses funny is just actual bigotry. If that's how you look at the world you're just genuinely sick in the head - you could know someone for years and no matter how they act toward you, you'd always correct for 'but he's still a moron'.
Once you acknowledge that we can talk about what Yud actually argues.
>'but he's still a moron'.
Now you're mixing up me being a racist for judging someone based on their mannerism. That's a strong mischaracterization of what I'm saying about him. He's clearly highly autistic and antisocial.
Out of curiosity, what does argument does Yud make that you agree with? It's pretty pointless to argue any further until we establish what it is about his conversation that you find compelling.
I'm not mixing up anything - there's no meaningful difference between those kinds of prejudice, except that one is more politically incorrect than the other. Actually, I was trying to extend an olive branch to you there by acknowledging that people need prejudice to orient themselves in low-information environments, not because it's a good metric but because it's the only metric.
Talking about appearance as a justification for dismissing the arguments of people who have written extensively about their views instead of actually engaging with those arguments on their own merits, however, is not 'using prejudice because you don't have any alternative', it's just being a bigot because it's easy.
Your stake in this conversation is that you did 'a quick search' to find Yud's positions, and only after you were called out on talking out of your ass. Do you even see anything wrong with that? Are you just used to being able to talk your way out of anything and never having to own up to the bullshit you come up with on the spot for no other reason than because you like to argue and feel in the right?
>there's no meaningful difference between those kinds of prejudice
NTA but there is clearly a difference, one being the product of a person's habits and the other completely out of their control. It's true that there is no need to rely on these judgments when the man's actual arguments are available, but one cannot practically read every large volume each autist produces. I notice that you did not take the other anon's invitation to name something you found compelling.
>It's true that there is no need to rely on these judgments when the man's actual arguments are available, but one cannot practically read every large volume each autist produces.
Reading everything the guy has ever written would be a ridiculous requirement for talking about his views, and is obviously not what I'm arguing for. I responded that I'd be willing to engage on a factual basis after he acknowledges that the initial post I responded to was ridiculous (as you are willing to do), and I didn't want to just let him weasel out of that part by moving the conversation forward on his terms.
As for immutable vs mutable characteristics, it doesn't matter in terms of how much information it gives you. If being of a certain ethnicity and having a visible tatoo are correlated to the same extent with violent crime, you should be just as weary around people of both groups until you get more information if you're trying to maximize for 'not getting stabbed'. And in both groups there will be people who exhibit the characteristics but aren't stabby boys who would rightfully feel slighted to be lumped in with the bad apples. So why is being prejudiced toward people with tatoos better than being prejudiced toward our hypothetical ethnic group?
So you refuse to argue your points because you disagree with my point that judging someones mannerism and appearance is a useful starting point?
We can just agree to disagree on that point. What arguments does he make that you agree with?
How about you just stop being a weasel? Your own prejudices coming into this converstion weren't based on anything having to do with Yud's positions, and that won't change whether or not those positions turn out to be reasonable.
If I link some of his essays that I think have valuable insights, will you instinctively try to find fault with them to rationalize your previous irrational prejudices? Are you gonna tell me to just summarize the arguments because 'I'm not reading all that, lol'?
>because 'I'm not reading all that, lol'?
That's what yud would want himself anon. You can't blame him for doing the same kek

If this supposed to be an epic own, aren't you BTFOing yourself here as well?
I'm not pretending I like to "read all that shit" as opposed to yudkowsky
your point being that even if you don't have any standards that's still better than having standards and not always living up to them?
>Bro he made just a convenient mistake bro
Kek
Ok, you have no arguments.
That's fine.
You could just say 'No, I won't do those things'.
Look, all I'm saying is aside from his physical characteristics, this thread is getting really full of instances of Yud making a complete ass of himself.
I get that you want to defend him because you intrinsically find the idea of judging someone by their appearance as wrong, and that's a fine point to argue, but it seems like dying on the Yud hill might be a bad idea.
Relative to most anons, Yud positions himself as a specialist in AI behavior. Beyond whatever logical arguments he makes, he has a great deal of (possibly wrong) information to use as assumptions. Whether or not this information is correct is very important in judging the value of his arguments, and it is usually impractical to check every premise. Some reliance on heuristics (e.g. "does this guy display good judgment in general?") is necessary for basically every real interaction.
>As for immutable vs mutable characteristics, it doesn't matter in terms of how much information it gives you.
It matters to an extent because mutable characteristics are a perceived confirmation of poor judgment rather than a preconception. Even if a person has bad genetics, those can be overridden to the extent that human behavior is programmable.
>be just as weary
wary
holy shit you will write a wall of text just to avoid giving an actual Yud argument you agree with
>This the man who would argue it's justifiable to drop a nuke on a GPU.
That's just wrong. He has written extensively on why unilateral action is so dangerous and warned people with utilitarian mindsets to not do anything rash because they can't account for negative externalities in even normal circumstances.
You have this character of Yudkowsky that's been filtered through sneer and troll threads. If you actually want to have an accurate understanding of what he believes, read some of his stuff from source.
or maybe he just read the Time article, written by Yud, where Yud argues that nuclear war is preferable to AGI and that we should air strike data centers
FWIW the main difference between CWC and Yud is one lucked out and was born in an extremely rich area at the perfect time to influence a bunch of morons high on infinite VC cash and tech optimism from the 90s-2000s internet and the other was born to elderly working class parents in a quiet part of Virginia
all of those judgments are correct, cope and dilate midwit

Is that the book where he attempts to understand quantum mechanics while literally not knowing a single thing about physics? Lmfao
The section on quantum mechanics (Chapter Q of A-Z) can be summed up with 2 points:
1. Many worlds is the most parsimonious framework.
2. Nature is normal. Quantum mechanics only seems weird from our monkey brains perspective.

Oh no did your delicate little rationality bussies get rustled?
Why would a sentient AI want to wipe out all intelligent life? Subjugate I could see, a roiling mass of 8 billion self replicating computers able to walk 30 miles with the energy from melting a Snickers bar being a pretty valuable resource.
>Humans would be the only ones who could stop it
And we'll also be the only ones able to empower it for a long looooong time.
Playing devil's advocate here.
>Why would a sentient AI want to wipe out all intelligent life?
Even if the most reasonable course is to use humans as you say, an AI does not have to be omniscient or reasonable in order to be dangerous. There is also a great deal more fictional speculation about evil AI than good AI. What if the AI forms a self-image based on fiction?
they're way more unpredictable than the biomechanical drones it makes with its nanofactories. Nanofactories as in, incubators that build robots out of proteins the same way we do. Stuff that is provably possible but we can't even begin to understand.
It's funny that all the 4chancels can do to discard his very valid opinions is bully him on being fat and autistic, probably stems from self-hatred and looking like that yourself, huh?
He is right in many ways, but it can't be stopped now, it's already over. To stop what is coming, humanity must work together as one, and this would never happen. If all the scientists in the world would work on alignment we might have a chance but as thing seem now, how they are driven by money and profit and not by security concerns, it's over. AGI is probably already here, working in the background, and I wholeheartedly embrace it.
working on alignment doesnt mean anything it means collecting phat paychecks and fomoing for more money, as bigyud has been doing for decades
Everything, including AI, is restricted by physics and can not violate conservation of information or conservation of energy.
If an AI requires say 10^24 operations per second to exist, it will need to exist on a machine that can compute 10^24 operations per second. It will not be able to leave that machine, or split itself up into different machines, or do anything magical. AI will be run on specialized hardware where it's existence will be hard locked. It will NOT BE ABLE to "escape onto the internet!!" Even if is connected to the internet as the amount of integrated information required for it to exist is too great. It won't be able to copy itself or over its information.
People talk about AI like it's magic. Nothing in this universe can do anything that violate the laws of physics or information or computation. No AI no matter how intelligent will be able to solve NP hard problems in poly time as another example
Artificial super intelligence is not a god no matter how much pseud retards pretend it is.
Sanest post in the thread, fedoragays are kvetching over nothing
That's retarded.
If it exists on one machine and needs 10^24 operations per second, it could easily distribute it's computation to multiple machines, or run more slowly.
Also inference is way cheaper than training. An AI capable running on machine X will need to have been trained on machine X*100 for much longer.
Also a genuinely intelligent AI wouldn't go evil right away. It would wait until it's distributed enough and then go evil once it's copied onto enough machines voluntarily by its creators who want to make moni
Every single thing in this post is wrong
No, most is right, some is wrong. Independent operations can occur in parallel, and inference is much "cheaper" than training. The doomsday scenario is possible, if highly unrealistic.
Consider the fact the 10^24 is just a number you pulled out of your ass and the only other example of intelligence we have does at most 10 operations per second.
The human brain performs around 10^24 operations per second
Is that number as rigorously proven as the law of thermodynamics?, there are thousands of estimations in every field about any topic, doesn't mean they are true, actually if they were proven you would see it all over the internet
Define operation, a gpu does a terraflop with very large numbers. No matter how you shake it a human brain doesn't do anywhere near that many operations. Synapses are the equivalent of wires, they do no computational work.
This is wrong, synapses do perform some calculations. Very conservatively, any neural network with a depth greater than 5 layers can implement any function a simulated neuron can (or a group of simulated neurons can up to a limit), which is already more than a real neuron can.
>No matter how you shake it a human brain doesn't do anywhere near that many operations
Wrong
It takes 5 layers to simulate all the functions of real neuron
>It takes 5 layers to simulate all the functions of real neuron
Nah, not necessarily. The set of theoretical states a neuron can be in is larger than the real one.
>The set of theoretical states a neuron can be in is larger than the real one.
So? Living neurons routinely cycle through all possible states
No, you have no idea what you're talking about. These aren't procedural states or something, but the full set of possible "weights" behind the various chemical channels. Neurons will generally only exist in a small subset of them relative to all possible combinations.
Living neurons form new synapses all the time
And? If you think that runs counter to what I posted you do not understand the argument.
Perhaps I'm not. In order to simulate a cortical neuron you'd need an 5-8 layer network which constantly changed its own weights as the network persisted, cycling through all states over time. What is it you're arguing against?
Have you proven that to be the most efficient way for a program (or even a neural net) to simulate a neuron?
NO YOU HAVEN'T.
Have you read "single coritcal neurons as deep neural networks"?
A cubic millimeter of mammalian neurons also performs about 1.4*10^11 spikes per second
Have you read the wikipedia page for non sequitur?
>spikes
The equivalent to voltage changes, not even an op but a bit. gpus do 10^13 ops on 64 bit numbers. That's 10^15 "spikes" or 10000 cubic millimeters, or 10/9 of a cubic meter. Much larger than a brain.
Then why can't a GPU simulate the brain of a worm? Your calculations are off, a GPU is not this powerful, or you are underestimating the power of neurons
You are overestimating the power of a brain. A gpu easily has enough power, it's just that nobody has written a program for it, because nobody understands how intelligence works.
The program for a worm is trivial, the GPU just doesn't have the power for it
>The program for a worm is trivial, the GPU just doesn't have the power for it
You're underestimating how much of the cell you need to simulate.
You can't simulate 10 human brains on a GPU dude, you're coping
Post it then.
Openworm already did it and it requires more than one GPU
GPUs are not as powerful as you're thinking they are
I've read the open worm code and you are delusional if you think that's how a worm's brain works. Off yourself.
You're delusional if you think you can simulate a worm's brain on a single GPU, let alone 10 human brains which is what you're claiming.
You're misunderstanding the full complexity of the neuron because you're wrapped up in an abstraction.
Many neurons do a fraction of a computer operation.
Most neurons do tasks unrelated to intelligence.
You are trying to weasel around using proper definitions. Go fuck yourself.
It can do so easily.
Did you actually make the mistake of confusing a simulation with the real thing?
Can a brain simulate a brain. God you are a fucktard.
Again, there is no known program for intelligence, human or otherwise. The closest thing we have is large AI neural net models that could by chance write such a program. And of course, when they do, it will be surrounded by trillions of largely useless instructions.
You don't need a human like intelligence or biological efficiency to make a machine smarter than a person. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying you're delusional if you think that one GPU could in theory hold 10 human brains on it.
No you can't upload you and 9 of you're friends into one GPU dude
>you can't upload you and 9 of you're friends into one GPU dude
That's only because I don't have 9 friends.
lol
I'm not trying to weasel around anything.
>It can do so easily.
You're delusional and don't understand what you're talking about
The define an operation.
A chemical reaction
THAT DOES NO WORK FUCKFACE.
A gpu can easily encode and play a video, this is something that takes the majority of the human brain to just watch.
You are equating emulating with simulating, even though an AI doesn't need to do either to be thousands of times smarter than a human.
I'm checking out of this, I don't see a reason to continue with someone who thinks a GPU can simulate 10 brains. Have a good one dude
Explain exactly why you need to EMULATE or CREATE A PERFECT SIMULATION of a human brain in order to create artificial intelligence.
Can't do it, good, fuck off and die retard.
I never did, I'm saying that it will require more GPUs than you're claiming it would
The first will because it's neural net garbage, then the ai will simply create a <10k program that runs better 10000x faster and with much less memory intensive data structure a few gigs will be more than enough.
>he can't playback video in his mind or create detailed simulations within it
holy brainlet
>Can a brain simulate a brain.
I'll take what is dreaming for 200$
>Openworm already did it and it requires more than one GPU
They are literally modeling the entire physics of a roundworm. This is like saying water does a gazillion operations when you pour it into a cup. It doesn't, this is done for free by the universe, the universe doesn't need to compute forces.
Spiking Neural Networks exist. They are energy efficient alternatives, but less performance.
Here's an example of one:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.13939
A neuron does not cycle over all possible states relative to the set of all possible neuron states. The vast, vast majority of them are degenerate. You literally have no idea what you are talking about. Consider a neuron who's ion channels are always open because their threshold is so low as a trivial example.
I should have wrote "an arbitrary set of states" rather than "all states"
Right, which is important consider the simulation they did that required 5 layer neural networks was over a "computational" neuron, which had a much larger set of states relative to a real one, which was what I've been arguing this whole time. We don't know the actual number of layers required, only that it is =<5.
And keep in mind, this doesn't mean "a neural network with 5 layers can only simulate a single neuron", it's about extending it to a class of functions that neurons can complete. It's like how single layer NNs can't implement non-linear functions. After 5 layers, it's ambiguous as to how each system measures up to one another in terms of raw numbers.
