Q So it's important to digest what you just said, which is that there are similarities between The human brain and artificial intelligence, the way the models work today. Do you think one day we'll be able to merge with AI?
A I, I think you have to kind of be specific about what that means, but yeah, I mean, one of the things that I'm preoccupied with is, is, um, The, the binding problem, which the, so all of your experience, I mean, it's important to realize that kind of all of this, like everything you see and hear and feel and think, like, all of this is brain activity. Like that's, at the end of the day, that's all it really is. Like the brain is the thing that is you, it's the source of, of, ah, your entire experience of the universe. But within that, it's composed of billions of neurons that are distributed over a large area and spread out in time. But you don't experience the activity of these neurons independently. You experience a unified moment. And even within your brain, you've got two hemispheres, each of which is processing one half of your experience. So the left hemisphere is processing the right hemifield and vice versa. But you don't experience two hemifields. You experience a single visual field. And so how does that happen? There's some physics that we don't understand yet. And if you could understand that, then you can imagine adding, you can imagine building, say, a conscious machine, You could add a third hemisphere. You could connect this over the network. This would, in some very fundamental sense, allow you to redraw the border around a brain and change the, like, where you…
AI assessment note: “You could add a third hemisphere. You could connect this over the network.”
