A neuromorphic supercomputer called DeepSouth will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, which is on par with the estimated number of operations in the human brain

I HAVE a human brain and I’m not too smart. It just sounds like we’re making a dumb supercomputer
Computers aren’t that smart either. But they work the opposite to us.
Things we are good at they are bad at (vision, motor control, speech) and vice versa (complex calculations, working memory)
Even if we had AI that is no smarter than humans it would still be a million time faster at processing information
Let’s hope so…
If your human brain could simulate a human brain, then we’d really be excited.
That’s the smartest reply to this post.
Barely related, but this reminded me of something one of my undergrad tutors said to me while complaining about the fastmath compiler switch: “I don’t need my program to arrive extremely quickly at the wrong answer! I can do that perfectly fine myself!”
Same. I’ll never believe in GP AI until I see a proof that a matching GP NI exists.
In seven and half million years it will print “42” to its terminal
What if we just type in 42 and let it think about that for seven and half million years?
Okay, well - I’ve done it for you.
GOFAI: “Pardon me?”
Maybe it would answer with the question, jeopardy style
“What do you get if you multiply six by nine?”
- the derived question, theoretically
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
- The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (book 2 of the 5-part trilogy)
All that because we didn’t think of asking the question first. God damnit.

I’m really glad that they’re doing this I think this is important work and I hope that one day I can suck its dick
Whoa, now… Let’s not put the nutsack over the shaft.

Cool, can we give it depression and ADHD?
Sure! Just let it connect to the Internet! It’s what worked for me!
Definitely give it some anxiety.
Do we know which human brain is going to simulate or is it a random human brain? Because some brains are just not worth it.

Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.
Not too long ago it would take a room like that to mimic a fraction of the power in my watch. Heck, I’ve got more power on my wrist than it took to get to the moon.
By orders of magnitude if it’s a smartwatch.
It’s a BangleJS. So, not super powerful, but I can program it myself and it has gps, gyro, Bluetooth, and two weeks of battery (assuming I’m not using that stuff constantly.)
A Casio nothing-watch has more power than the Apollo computers, so yeah, definitely many orders of magnitude for the BangleJS.
A Casio nothing-watch has more power than the Apollo computers
Does it?
Yup. One of those cards that plays a tune when you open it is more powerful than the Apollo computer. Apollo was only working on 4kb of RAM and 74kb of ROM.
If I had been in charge of figuring out how to make that work everyone would definitely be dead.
Those cards are more powerful than the watches I’m thinking of when people say “Casio nothing-watch”, I think is what I was getting at. I’m thinking simple digital watches from the 80s/90s/2000s, kind of thing. As far as I know they have no real programmable logic, and anything that might be considered RAM is under 1KB.
But yeah those cards that actually play recorded samples are probably more powerful general computers than onboard Apollo, that’s a good comparison.
Still, those computers and stuff like the Saturn instrument unit were freaking marvels, considering what all they could actually do with so little.
Houston we have no idea what our trajectory is and it’s just playing happy birthday over and over.
nice
To be fair our brain took millions of years of evolution, while this simulated brain took only a few years to be developed, maybe in the future this can all fit in a phone perhaps. Enough for this simulated brain to watch memes of beans from this era.
And we’re using it to look at memes of beans
Memes of beans is a noble cause.
Skeptical. As of August 2023, there are scientists still struggling with simulating C. Elegans- a single celled organism.
We don’t even fully understand the brain itself, let alone how to recreate it.
This is token click bait scientific “journalism”
What’s the progress of the Human Connectome Project?
If Devs was to be believed, it could totally predict the behavior patterns of that single-celled organism 20 seconds into the future. :rollseyes:

I should, like, read up on how this works. I’m assuming these are specific Unicode characters or something.
Reminds me back in like the late 90s / early 2000s when we used those rainbow text color fader generator tools for chats and messaging apps. I remember there was a pretty popular one back then but I forgot the actual name.
Think of something like this but an actual PC app: https://patorjk.com/text-color-fader/
Step 1: Write your copy. Maybe give it an edit pass for sake of spelling and grammar.
Step 2: Do a websearch for unicode text converter. This cool font was found here.
Step 3: Find a format you like. Copy to clipboard.
Step 4: Paste. This is commonly used for bold, italics, underline and strikeout. There are also modifiers to make text i̽n̽cr̽̽̽e̽̽̽a̽̽̽̽̽s̽̽̽̽̽̽̽i̽̽̽̽̽̽̽n̽̽̽̽̽̽̽g̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽l̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽y̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽ ̽̽̽̽̽̽̽c̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽r̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽a̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽z̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽y̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽̽ by stacking mods. Older systems or websites with incomplete unicode fonts will replace unknown charaxters and mods with boxes, so there is only limited backward compatibility.
