One thought I have from this is,
Are OpenAI funding research into neuroscience?
Artificial Neural Networks were somewhat based off of the human brain.
Some of the frameworks that made LLMs what they are today are too based of our understanding of how the brain works.
Obviously LLMs are somewhat black boxes at the moment.
But if we understood the brain better, would we not be able to imitate consciousness better? If there is a limit to throwing compute at LLMs, then understanding the brain could be the key to unlocking even more intelligence from them.
As far as anyone can tell, there is virtually no similarity between brains and LLMs.
Neural nets were named such because they have connected nodes. And that’s it.
