Transcript context
…Yeah. I think I I but but you think that the human brain is running a Turing system? Yes. I think the algorithm that runs in our brain is a is a Turing machine algorithm. So, you know, like a a Turing machine has a code book, which is a finite state autometer. And then it has this, you know, read write access to these 2 potentially infinite tapes. And, you know, the the the algorithm that you put in that Turing machine, that is very difficult to find. I I don't disagree with that, but I don't why why wouldn't we be able to find that algorithm for neural networks? Right? Like, why wouldn't, you know, we we train, neural networks much bigger than the brain. We put a lot of compute towards them. Do you you just don't think that, finding the same algorithm is possible with with SGD?…
