kapsi··on The baffling intelligence of a single cell (2024)
I asked ChatGPT to estimate memory requirements of a brain simulation, with neurons from a paper linked in OP post ("Single cortical neurons as deep artificial neural networks"). This paper uses neuron models that are supposed to simulate real ones. The answer was 8-50 PB, with 10^7 weights shared between neurons, or 3.4 EB if each neuron has its own 10^7 weights. So it's not out of the realm of possibility.

kapsi··on Wikipedians question Wikimedia fundraising ethics after “somewhat-viral” tweet
So that Twitter user started talking about Wikipedia funding the "culture war", and I stopped reading. I guess it's my own fault for reading what an anime avatar has to say.

A sufficiently smart and malicious AI could wipe out most of our knowledge, now that everything is stored on electronic devices.
kapsi··on Why Did Comedy Die?
Even as a kid I thought Austin Powers or Adam Sandler were trash. "Don't Look Up" is funnier than most of his hits from the past.
kapsi··on Why are there so few dead bugs on windshields these days?
>These were normally brown like tree bark but evolved to look like sooty brick in a few years.

Because the brown ones got eaten. But that's different from evolving to recognize where a road is, which is maybe possible but probably would take thousands or millions of years.

kapsi··on Why are there so few dead bugs on windshields these days?
If there were that many of organized climate protesters they would be heard as well, it always comes down to numbers and potential for violence.
