As much as I think current IA is another bullshit marketing term, we will see when AI has been around for at least a few centuries, I don’t think we need thousands of years like brains did.
Tbf a lot of energy goes into producing the food we consume. But nowhere near what it costs to run this AI garbage.
Idea meat FTW
AI is a parasite.
So are many idea meat lumps
Are we talking incandescent bulbs or led bulbs?
Strong led or (very) weak incandescent. It’s about 20 Watts (at least, that’s what the popsci meme reports)
I dunno, I get real hungry on days when I have to think a lot
There are probably 2 reasons for this:
-
There’s probably a lot more motor control going on than you would expect when you need to think (writing, fidgeting, etc.).
-
Your brain wants sugars, so when you run out of immediately-available glycogen to break down, you will want to eat more in order to keep thinking. Breaking down fats wont supply energy fast enough (in the short term) to keep complex thought running continuously.
-
Lead bulbs ofc.
This guy lead bulbs.
Edit: removing my far too serious comment.
Tldr Poe’s law, I can’t tell if this is a critique of AI, or of AI critics.Ah yeah don’t take shit post too seriously.
For me, this meme was just a Matrix joke.
Win at what?
Win at being shit.
God creates man.
Man creates god.
Man kills god.
Man creates AI.
AI kills man.
AI destroys earth.

Yes
Also you can run most models on a wide range of fuels. Sucrose, glucose, maltose, ethanol, molybdenum disulfide, small rocks, some grass. Really anything.
Yes I think the point is just a shit ton more than the human brain, generally.
Whoooosh
The advanced fat-based “thinking” machine at work.
The thing in the right is also a glorified prediction engine. I suppose whoever made this is steeped in religious dogma but humans aren’t that advanced either. We just predict things.
Inb4 the advanced fat-based brains brigade me using their advanced fat-based prediction engines 🙄
Do you not have an internal experience?
It’s still leagues ahead of LLMs. I’m not saying it’s entirely impossible to build a computer that surpasses the human brain in actual thinking. But LLMs ain’t it.
The feature set of the human brain is different, in a way that you can’t compensate for by just increasing scale. So you get something that works but not quite, by using several orders of magnitude more power.
We optimize and learn constantly. We have chunking, whereby a complex idea becomes simpler for our brain once it’s been processed a few times, and this allows us to progressively work on more and more complex ideas without an increase in our working memory. And a lot of other stuff.
If you spend enough time using LLMs you must notice how their working is different from your own.
Sorry, but I’m not a prediction engine, I am capable of abstract thought, and actually understanding the meaning of the words.
I can also process all kinds of different data and make connection between then which includes emotional connections.
Another cool trick, I also have this thing called a consciousness which is something I can’t explain or put into words but I know it exists. All under 20W.

Maybe you’d be able to if you dial it to 25W
Nonetheless, the human brain is a better prediction engine.
Yes, we have better glorified prediction engines in general
