It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Can someone explain to me about the human brain or something? I've always been under the impression that it's kinda like the neural networks AIs use but like many orders of magnitude more complex. ChatGPT definitely has literally zero consciousness to speak of, but I've always thought that a complex enough AI could get there in theory
Yeah there's some ideas about there clearly being a difference in that the brain isn't feed-forward like these algorithms are. The book I Am a Strange Loop is a great read on the topic of consciousness. But I bet these models hit a massive plateau as the pump them full of bigger, shitter data. Who knows if we'll ever achieve any actual parity between human and ai experience.
at some point they started incorporating recursive connection topologies. but the model of the neuron itself hasn't changed very much and it's a deeply simplistic analogy that to my knowledge hasn't been connected to actual biology. I'll be more impressed when they're able to start emulating the structures and connective topologies actually found in real animals, producing a functioning replica. until they can do that, there's no hope of replicating anything like human cognition.
