Even if llm’s are a dead end, the amount of money going into creating AI dramatically pushes forward the date of its existence, we just emulated a fly brain, they’re doing a mouse next. This is a somewhat undeniable path to real intelligence, it will happen soon, even if the compute needed for a human brain turns out to be immense, the fly intelligence basically proved all you need is the connectome, so uh, yeah. If someone figures out how to automate the work that was done on the fly on a larger scale we’ll be there real quick.
