Transcript: Computers, modern computers, are digital devices, and yet, humans we’re analog to the core. Computers manipulate ones and zeros, and there's no ambiguity between the two. Human brains, on the other hand, are deeply analog, with signals of varying strengths and neurons of varying proximities. This is, at first glance, something that seems like an unbridgeable chasm, humans may be intelligent, because intelligence, at its core, is non-digital. However, the interesting thing to keep in mind is that humans are built using digital code. While computers are binary, manipulating just two digits, one and zero. DNA is quaternary, manipulating four digits, G,T,C, and A. From this, we can reason that complex analog intelligence can, in some form, be derived from simple digital code. This, at least, suggests that we can in fact build a general intelligence. https://ift.tt/2siBP7L gigaomhttp://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.pngNovember 26, 2019 at 06:34PM https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
