Episode notes
How Neural Networks Mirror The Brain
- Neural networks mimic brain structure with layers of artificial neurons and weighted links similar to synapses.
- Backpropagation fine-tunes those links using gradient descent, enabling learning from errors.
Limits Of AI Compared To Biology
- Neural networks are powerful but lack biological brain advantages like rapid rewiring and data efficiency.
- This limitation raises questions about creativity, common sense, and silicon versus biology trade-offs.
OpenAI's Move Into Custom Chips
- OpenAI is vertically integrating by designing custom chips to avoid GPU shortages and secure future compute.
- This move signals a strategic pivot toward full-stack hardware-software control for resilience.
