#4I was expecting a simple trivial calculation with comparing energy demand for LLMs and energy demand of the brain and lots of blabla around it..
But it rather seems a good general introduction into the realm aimed at beginners. Not sure if it gets everything right and the author clearly states he is not an expert and would like correction where he is wrong, but it seems worth checking out, if one is interested in understanding a bit about the magic behind it.

#5Call me lazy but I couldn’t get through the wall of text to learn what on earth vectored database is. Way too much effort spent talking about binary and how ascii works and whatnot - such basics that it feels that the article is for someone with zero knowledge about computers.

#6Maybe, but I bet GPT-4 can spell million.

#7I feel the author is comparing an abstract representation of the brain to a mechanical representation of a computer. This is not a fair or useful comparison.
If a computer does not understand words, neither does your brain. While electromagnetic charge in the brain does not at all correspond with electromagnetic charge in a GPU, they do share an abstraction level, unlike words vs bits.

#8If some day AGI happens and can exists on its own, wouldn’t that prove that intelligence is a base requirement for intelligence to happen in the first place ?
AGI can’t happen on its own, it needs our intelligence first to help it structure itself

It would not prove that. It would be one observed example of a new intelligence which was created by an existing one.

Only if we talk about trained intelligence. Likely the requirements for evolved intelligence are different and involve being embodied, edonistic, and the pressure of a selection mechanism
