      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 …

      Ten years ago today, at a TED conference, a neuroscientist claimed that he could simulate the human brain in ten years. And, er, that didn’t happen. Here’s a look at why, and whether the goal even makes any sense. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/07/ten-years-human-brain-project-simulation-markram-ted-talk/594493/ …

      To simulate the brain, you must first simulate the universe.

      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.

          Right, but even this would still be simulating thoughts, not developing thoughts

          Even today, AI interacts with some portion of the civilization which already exists -- through text, video, robotics, etc. Interface to the reality is not the hardest part in creating the mind in the computer.

          The universe that has to be simulated can probably be way smaller and simpler than the actual one if you are just interested in learning how to perform day-to-day tasks.

          Representation of any linguistic object is embedded in the context graph that spans entire universe, and the some. There is an astronomical number of things which could be referred to, out of blue sky, in the very next line of any ongoing dialog.

          No need to simulate a new universe, just connect the simulated brain inputs with a real webcam + micro and its motor outputs to robotic wheels or muscles, and let the robotic AI "feel" our universe (universe APIs are royalty-free!).
