Re:How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been? on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @09:00AM (#49535556)
Zitron does not seem to put his own skin in the game by going short though - He sells bearishness via his substack, podcasts and media appearances.
Mice have around 70 Million Neurons, humans around 50-100 billion.

Yes, you can't compare biological neurons to parameters in an LLM 1:1, neurons do much more, but still - It is plausible that higher intelligence just requires scale.

At least not even evolution over millions of years seems to have found a way to produce human-level intelligence in a smaller scale, even though it had a lot of incentives to do so (the human brain needs a lot of kcal).

Yes, but the people who talk to me as Software Engineer about what to build also talk to me only in natural language, not a formal language.
