But I think there are some big differences as well.

The amount of pre-training data is very, very staggering.

Yes.

And somehow a human being after even 15 years with a tiny fraction of that pre-training data, they know much less.

But whatever they do know, they know much more deeply somehow.

And the mistakes, like already at that age, you would not make mistakes that REIs make.

There is another thing you might say, could it be something like evolution?

And the answer is maybe.

But in this case, I think evolution might actually have an edge.

Like there is this, I remember...

reading about this case where some you know that one thing that neuroscientists do or rather one way in which neuroscientists can learn about the brain is by studying people with brain damage to different parts of the brain and and so and some people have the most strange symptoms you could imagine it's actually really really interesting and there was one case that comes to mind that's relevant

I read about this person who had some kind of brain damage that took out I think a stroke or an accident that took out his emotional processing.

So he stopped feeling any emotion.

And as a result of that, you know, he still remained very articulate and he could solve little puzzles and on tests he seemed to be just fine.

But he felt no emotion.

He didn't feel sad.

He didn't feel angry.

He didn't feel animated.

And he became somehow extremely bad at making any decisions at all.

It would take him hours to decide on which socks to wear and he would make very bad financial decisions.
