I asked ChatGPT to estimate memory requirements of a brain simulation, with neurons from a paper linked in OP post ("Single cortical neurons as deep artificial neural networks"). This paper uses neuron models that are supposed to simulate real ones. The answer was 8-50 PB, with 10^7 weights shared between neurons, or 3.4 EB if each neuron has its own 10^7 weights. So it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Long term memory?

I can't afford it, I'm unemployed, AI took my job

>Dario, Sam, Demis, and Elon have all said this loudly and repeatedly to anyone who asks.

While taking and hoarding as much as possible, as fast as possible. Oh and Elon had a brief episode of trying to fire people from government jobs.

You can also sell them your children, if they're hot. It's like printing money!

What about the people who sold gold? Didn't they make money?

That's true but it's also what Bitcoin did 13 years ago, meanwhile all the hype about taking over the world doesn't seem to be coming true.

You fool, that's exactly what it wants.

I think it's a perfectly cromulent word.

Let me check in a year

There's some difference between blockchain and AI, that is AI works.

So that Twitter user started talking about Wikipedia funding the "culture war", and I stopped reading. I guess it's my own fault for reading what an anime avatar has to say.

A sufficiently smart and malicious AI could wipe out most of our knowledge, now that everything is stored on electronic devices.

Even as a kid I thought Austin Powers or Adam Sandler were trash. "Don't Look Up" is funnier than most of his hits from the past.

>These were normally brown like tree bark but evolved to look like sooty brick in a few years.

Because the brown ones got eaten. But that's different from evolving to recognize where a road is, which is maybe possible but probably would take thousands or millions of years.

If there were that many of organized climate protesters they would be heard as well, it always comes down to numbers and potential for violence.

What's gonna happen in 100 years? Are the insects waiting for something?

I don't think most people know that rendering engines exist.

Of course it counts if you use Gmail.

"plummeting birth rates have left many couples without children" - something is off with this sentence

Yes, I know no other program that does simple photo retouching and organizing as well as Picasa.
