Michael :The brains "slow and unreliable" methods I think are the price paid
for
generality and innately unreliable hardware
Yes to one - nice to see an AGI-er finally starting to join up the dots,
instead of simply dismissing the brain's massive difficulties in maintaining
a train of thought.
No to two - innately unreliable hardware is the price of innately
*adaptable* hardware - that can radically grow and rewire (wh. is the other
advantage the brain has over computers). Any thoughts about that and what
in more detail are the advantages of an organic computer?
In addition, the unreliable hardware is also a price of "global"
ardware - that has the basic capacity to connect more or less any bit of
information in any part of the brain with any bit of information in any
other part of the brain - as distinct from the "local" hardware of computers
wh. have "to go through limited local channels to limited local stores of
information to make v. limited local kinds of connections." Well, that's my
tech-ignorant take on it - but perhaps you can expand on the idea. I would
imagine v. broadly the brain is "globally connected" vs the computer wh. is
"locally connected."
