    Of course, the human brain takes 9 months to construct, around 16 years to reach full functionality, and requires about 33% downtime to function properly.

      And can be completely destroyed in a few minutes of complete inactivity…. Such as stop breathing or have a heart attack….
      Rebuilding that same brain, that experienced the unscheduled down time, can take another decade or so….
      It would be nice to have a method, or understanding, of rebuilding all of those lost connections in the brain….
      I’m open to ideas…

    Brain-like circuits sound like a great idea, and many people have always found it appealing. Once upon a time there were two legendary chip designers -- Federico Faggin (the father of Intel 4004, 8080 and then Z80) and Carver Mead (famous for the design methodology in "Introduction to VLSI" course which inspired fabless semiconductor industry).
    Back in 1986 the two have founded Synaptics -- precisely to develop brain-like chips. The name was an allusion to the synapses of biological neurons. They really tried, but could not make it work. However, the developed know-how allowed them to successfully pivot towards capacitive touch-pads.The company became quite famous, and their touch-pads were found in many laptop computers. Few people remember now that the touch-pads were not the plan, when Synaptics first started.

    What's wild is that neurochemical system in the brain and on top of that the several operating frequencies for various brain waves. The brain is really space efficient and uses a lot of layered systems to synthesize all its stimulus, internal state, decision making, and responses. It's plasticity, neural weighting, and glitches are fascinating too and all of this is done based on protein and dna based hardware which limits the thermal and frequency response. If we could get better 3D stacked and capillary cooled systems, we might be able to get close.

    I experienced a TBI in 2017, losing my identity and conscious access to memory. I was already neuroatypical and had seizures, but my capacity for 'linear communication' was often confounded. I knew words and understood when people spoke and could respond, but it became easier to write in symbols with a few terms peppered in for clarification. But i basically 'mapped out' my brain's rewiring process in real-time, and there's so much overlap in concepts and terminology--using the computer memory framework as a reference has helped me streamline my understanding and troubleshoot ongoing problems with my memory.

    I designed a neuromorphic processor back in 2004 when I was at The Neurosciences Institute. I could write a book on the neuromorphic paths one could take and the reasons they won't work. You did an excellent job of covering the different areas of the brain that need to be represented in a circuit. There are two aspects of neural computation that are paramount in creating brain-like functionality, but always get glossed over. They are synaptic plasticity and connectivity. Almost all of the changes in your brain that affect behavior are centered on the efficacy of synaptic propagation, likewise a lot of the functional differences between areas that have similar neuronal structure are the result of the connectivity within and between neural areas. The memristor is going nowhere - it's a red herring. If someone is successful in creating a commercially viable neuromorphic chip, they will encounter two problems that will stop them cold: 1) no one is trained to use them, as the computation is fundamentally different in everyway from a traditional computer; 2) intelligence is extremely complicated, not from an intellectual perspective, but from a conceptual perspective. The effort and education required to be able to use this type of chip and also make the conceptual leap to create an intelligent system is beyond anything available today..

      would you agree that there might be research to do on something like a universal language of logic first? Let me explain.
      Right now, we have machine "language" at the center, the "ones and zeroes" everyone should know about, with several layers designed to make sense to humans - assembly first, low-level programming languages second, and finally high-level ones and scripts. What we do here is take computer logic and make it human-readable.
      I'd think it may come at a cost.
      I'd be inclined to say we may tackle the problem wrong right now. Don't get me wrong, the research is all valuable - there's lessons to be learned from all the attempts so far which will no doubt help down the road.
      But as so often in human nature, especially when I look at the tedium at office jobs, you get to ask: How do we even know what of all of this is truly neccessary? Is there something we overlook? What's the core problem, and did I communicate it correctly? Most times you can't even be sure, because our wirings are not even uniform. At work.
      Now try globally. Human cultures, male and female, go down to animals etc.
      One might do good in finding the Atom first, before we dive into how to do alchemy. "Intelligence" as it stands is fairly human-centric in its definition, or in plain terms we wouldn't know it if it bashed our face in right now because the term is quite old and refers to all kinds of clever outcomes. Stuff like "emotional intelligence" is a buzzword, but it's inference itself may lead us to the core of the problem here.
      Right now we all have a fuzzy interpretation of what kinds of machines we want to build with this. Maybe it's time to define the problem first?

If you are saying that we don't even have a good definition of intelligence - I agree with you. People use the words artificial intelligence to describe everything that doesn't have a straight linear relationship or has a unique response to a stimulus. The point I was trying to make about the conceptual complexity of intelligence is itself complex. People that haven't lived in the world of neural computation can't see it - they think it is just like neural nets.

      In fact, everything is not as bad as it might seem. People understand a key concept of how the brain works - it is a huge set of nested conditions, which, due to their large nesting, can make an incredible number of matches (speaking as an AI student). The main thing that still remains a mystery is the details of the structure of the brain and the principles of its self-learning. This certainly does not indicate an almost complete lack of knowledge about the functioning of the brain; I would even say that the opposite statement is more accurate. We know more key concepts than we have left to learn.

    I think the brain is so efficient due to its size and nature of cells. Nerve cells are eessentialy small batteries, holding electrical potential and discharging it when told to do so by either primary or secondary neurotransmitters. And in this case the brain can be way more sophisticated, as each nerve cell much doesn't act as a logic gate, but rather only fires when sufficient or the right type of data is pass to it, only then will it fire. It basically acts as an impossibly complex neutral network, only we don't have any neural network technology I am aware of that can run on as little energy as the brain.
    We have transistors smaller than cells, but each cell also holds a bunch of data of the whole machine(DNA), and also depends on it metabolism, it's life span, etc... Basically a single cell acts a a mini-brain, being specialized in what it does but also having all the data in what everything does. I feel like the reason it's hard to figure out how neural networks solve a problem is the same reason it's so hard to study the brain. Each bit of information passed onto the brain is already spread across dozens of trillions of cells.

    Brain might only take low watts most of the time, but it's been on, running, consistently for our entire lives. I think that's where consciousness emerges, and the first AGI will probably be lost with the speed we force it to learn, while creating the giant LLM matrices.

    Thinking about it. Brains are complex, according to the brain. In reality it's quite simple but grand. Like how a single neuron may have so many connections that are rather simple in function but are so vast that it seems difficult to comprehend where to even start or how to even start. Recently they essentially made synthetic neurons "learn" to play pong, it's simply just a game of slowly reverse engineering how some aspects of the brain function and how this works in tandem with other functions. It's not a question of "if" but when. I say 50 years.

    Your description on how the brain processes data reminds me of OpenCog's Atomspace.
    That uses a mixture of different structures joined together in various ways to both represent knowledge and process data. It is a metagraph based system, where the brain (don't quote me on this) seems like a graph based system.
    It's weird to see a line of similarity between those two things.

      @VanFire87 The area of ​​the brain responsible for controlling offspring rearing in mammals is known as the limbic system, and within this system, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays an important role in regulating maternal behaviors. The ACC is located in the medial part of the frontal lobe and is connected to other areas of the limbic system, such as the hippocampus and amygdala. This brain area is involved in the regulation of emotions, decision making and evaluation of social stimuli, and its activity is believed to be essential for maternal motivation and care of offspring. In studies in mice, it has been shown that lesion or inactivation of the ACC can decrease maternal motivation and reduce the mother's response to signals from her offspring.
      The ablation of the ACC by electroscalpel makes the mother regress to a stage 200 million years more primitive or reptilian, seen in animals from the Carboniferous period 440 million years ago, mammals are from the (Permian Triassic) 230 million years ago. Scan that area, compile and digitize the algorithms that make it work, calibrate its neuronal weights, download the cortical model of the mother on an artificial substrate descended from current GPUs (probably photonic chips), reconnect its inputs and outputs and you will see how the mother returns to take care of her babies as if nothing had happened. Turn off the artificial neural network and the mother will revert to a reptilian state and her babies will starve to death. In the future General Artificial Intelligences will do a brain scan of animals in Biology starting from the most primitive beings (flatworms descended from Pycaia) to the most advanced (apes and humans). With these stored connectomes, a virtual twin of the biological being will be created that will be subjected to the same gradient, amplitude and frequency of inputs and if they react exactly the same (Intelligence) we will have created a digital twin. In the digital world copy and original lose all meaning, once something becomes Code and becomes Information it can be replicated millions of times and no one can say that they have the original download of a song. We have been digitizing everything, books, audio, paintings, etc., and the last thing we are going to be able to digitize is going to be the most important thing, our brain and not even we will achieve it, but the AIs will achieve it. Ray Kurzweil describes a similar procedure to realize the Mind Uploading in his book.

    Most of the current AIs i assume simmulate by machine learning and neural network principles to some extant how a brain works. In our own brains, there is no need for a simulation as the rules of the game are hardwired through physiognomy, chemical neurotransmitter and neuro elictricity ... physics chemistry biology brain. Not just like having different levels, but having different levels interacting with one other or multiple other levels in parallel.
    I would further assume, aslong the hardware stays just in silicon, there will always be a simulation aspect to it and thereby less energy efficiency as that efficiency comes from the varied interations between different levels of the brain. Am i mistaken?

    • @cerebralm
      @cerebralm 4 місяці тому

      Yes. There is no reason why silicon couldn't imitate or even surpass the performance of a biological neuron. A biological neuron calculates on the order of hundreds of impulses per second. A digital neuron, if built as an ASIC on cutting edge process node, could calculate on the order of _billions_ of impulses per second. The overwhelming majority of the complexity in a biological neuron is not necessary for the computing the neuron does, so you could really argue that there is a simulation aspect to our brain. Enormous quantities of molecules and proteins that have nothing to do with the logical operations, as opposed to a chip where only the substrate is not an active participant in calculation. At best they have immunological or other physical resilience purposes that an artificial brain wouldn't need to implement.

      Neural networks don't actually simulate how a brain works, since a human brain is not trying to approximate a mathematical function, which is all a neural network is doing. An analogy would be an aeroplane; the aeroplane manages to fly, but it is not using even remotely the same mechanisms for flight as a bird does. The end result is similar, yes, and its designers were probably originally inspired by birds, but the way it is actually achieved could not be more different.

      “Simulate” has been the implicit problem with AI. Just because you can argue that your CNN or AlexNet, whatever, appears to be accounting for, say, 70% of what you attribute to be a brain’s network response(e.g. the initial retinal network of a mouse), this does not mean your AI network is actually doing anything like the brain network - in fact you’re making assumptions on both ends - what the mouse network actually is, and your AI approach. This difficulty was already in full swing with Newell and Simon’s General Problem Solver, 1972, where they assumed that because the program’s steps were, say, 70% similar to the steps humans claimed to take in solving something like a symbolic logic proof, that this meant their simulation approach had validity, that it was actually near emulating the human brain/thought process - when nothing such was necessarily the case.

    Good explanation of the differences. Using a digital approach we can only simulate a finite number of neurons. Hardly comparable to a brain.

    As a software developer, something that always seemed weird about robots and AI in science fiction was how many were described as having electronics dedicated to various functions, like an "emotion chip" or "justice circuit." I thought it would make much more sense for them to use general-purpose computers were all of these features were programmed in software. Having "algorithms" or "subroutines" implementing these human qualities would sound more realistic. The terms used to describe the actual design was usually just arbitrarily picked by the author and not relevant to the story, except maybe as a plot device where individual hardware failures or lack of parts availability could render a subset of a robot's "personality" nonfunctional without affecting the rest.
    Now that AI is being developed and commercialized more it turns out some of these functions do in fact make more sense to implement with specialized hardware.

Alloy trace literally means a chip can have three dimensions because the alloy has a specific resistance, and electrical length, four operation ideas. The standard gate allows certain idea possibilities. But the intuitive thing about being real is that your always rhobustly there. When your driving on the freeway some August night, in your twenti's, you feel the street make your eyes sweat as the music increases the engine head gasket temperature, the lava underground holds you in this world like a wayward primordial ghost. A base station byte can be terahertz and communicate to a vast array of points. But its not like thereis a time machine, your as much as you can ever be.
