No, it’s not in the training. Human memories are stored via electromagnetic frequencies controlled by microtubules. They’re not doing anything close to that in AI.

And LLM memories are stored in an electrical charge trapped in a floating gate transistor (or as magnetization of a ferromagnetic region on an alloy platter).

Or they write CLAUDE.md files. Whatever you want to call it.

are ANN memories not also stored in loops like recurrent nets?

That was my point, they’re stored in a totally different way. And that matters because being stored in microtubules infers quantum entanglement throughout the brain.

Whether QE is a mechanism in the brain still seems up for debate from the quick literature review I tried, but would love to learn more.

Given the pace of quantum computing it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility to “wire up” to LLMs in a couple years.

It's not that either.

I don't believe this has been really proved yet.
