    Do you really think this technology won’t exist in our lifetime?

    Yes, absolutely. What you’re describing is AGI. If an AI could untangle engrams from branched clusters of extremely plastic neurons, it could understand and improve it’s own thinking. It would actually be self aware before it could untangle the mess that our brains are. And I don’t see AGI happening with our current material and resource constraints before I die. Seeing brain regions being active and de-novo engram implantation is about as close as an LLM is to AGI.

      It is as you say, the scale doesn’t even exist at this point

      Even the recent fly brain mapping, enhanced with AI, had to take a destructive approach to map a half a milligram brain and these people are thinking matrix reloaded already

      Being 70-80 years old sucks. My condolences. We’ll mess around with AGI when you’re gone and I’ll think about you
