It is conceptually the same thing. A series of interconnected neurons with a firing threshold and weighted connections.

The simplification comes with how the information is transmitted and how our brain learns.

Many functions in the human body rely on quantum mechanical effects to function correctly. So to simulate it properly each connection really needs to be its own super computer.

But it has been shown to be able to encode information in a similar way. The learning the part is not even close.

At work both my monitors and networking go through the same port. The monitor also acts as a usb hub.

You can buy an adapter and plug everything in one port.

I love it personally.

The fact that a lot of the neighbours like it means it could sell. You might get lucky with some old people. My grandparents had a clock that chimed every hour. They absolutely loved it even though it went all night.

Short term solution is to invest in the best ear plugs you can.

Seems unlikely as that’s essentially what we had before and they were not very good at all.

LLMs are based on neural networks which are a massively simplified model of how our brain works. So you kind of can as long as you keep in mind they are orders of magnitude more simple.
