You mean those like 8 hours of ~~nightmares~~ dreams I have every night?

I doubt it. Brains run at only a few operations per second.... GPUS at TFLOPS. There just isn't enough bandwidth.

My brain only needs to get mugged in a dark alley by a guy in a hoodie once to learn something.

This sentence really struck me in a particular way. Very interesting. It does seem like thoughts/stream of consciousness is just your brain generating random tokens to itself and learning from it lol.

What experiment could be run to test this hypothesis?
