Before burning €1Bn on trying to simulate the human brain, wouldn’t it make sense to first prove that we can build simulation models of simple worms and insects? Even after we managed to map out entire connectome of C.elegans or Drosophila, we cannot simulate them convincingly.https://twitter.com/edyong209/status/1153370464531755008 …
To simulate the brain, you must first simulate the universe.
François sagan
Simulating the universe is probably easier than simulating the brain.
Wrong. This depends on the length scale chosen.
It is fortunate that we have the universe already, and can tap its functionality.
So true! I think of it literally every time I collide a complex object (like a hand) with anything else. Lots of nice distributed computation!
We must know how the brain works in the first place
I.e. simulating the brain (if you could), in isolation, would amount to mere noise. To develop thoughts, you will need to simulate its sensorimotor space and an environment of comparable sensorimotor richness as ours. Including other humans, our civilization, etc. The universe...
@nealstephenson wrote a book about it so I suspect it's the case.
The brain is the way for the universe to know itself
