It's funny that none of the AI firms in the limelight are making any attempt to actually copy the architecture of biological neutral networks. Analog and neuromophic neural network hardware acceleration chips, ie hardware that mimics how biological brains compute, have both crazy energy efficiency and high performance. The only two firms that have actually been making a serious effort at developing such hardware are Intel and IBM. For both companies neuromophic chips have been r&d projects that have already had over a decade of resources poured into and will probably require at least another decade before producing something commercially viable.

It's also evidence that firms like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and all the AI startups that are spouting off about working on creating actual AI are full of shit. None of them are working on developing hardware to run real neural networks able to emulate the type of intelligence human brains are capable of, ie dynamic, general, and realtime learning.

The term "neural network" is primarily marketing term, as is "AI" itself.

Judging by the creepy tech occultist fucks in charge of these corporations, it's probably better they don't.

I will say as a neuroscientist, it is a term we use, literally referring to the organization of neurons in the brain and how different areas connect to each other

I know neural networks are a thing and they do exist, including in synthetic forms, but my point is that when LLMs get marketing hyped enough they get conjured up attributes assigned to them and that's bullshit.

Oh 100% agree, and personally it’s really annoying they took our term that I have to use for real things

Oho someone else in the medical/medical science field dean-malice

They're gunna' start harvesting brains and using them as computers if you bring this up to them.

Comrades are eventually gonna have to do each other a solid and shoot each other in the head after they die like we're in a fucking zombie movie.
