  • Not sure these definitions are any better. Why is hardware proper by definition? And where is the software delineation? Would an fpga be hardware or software? How would this differ from our own neurons in that how they fire versus what they do is ill defined? I think trying to pin down where computational work is done biologically is a bit of a pointless exercise right now. Similarly trying to pin out definitions we use in computer science to match those ill understood biological constraints is also premature general ai using non biological computation may end up being vastly different from biology.

    And traditionally we just call things a neural network artificial is implied give we are running on a digital computer.

    Also the statement everything humanity does being artificial is needlessly broad. I don’t think you could argue reproduction of humans is artificial.



  • I grew up on a farm, hell no. If you think farming is going to be any different you’re delusional. It’s also full of physical labor that takes a toll on you.

    But give it a go if you want just don’t think farming or ranching is simpler it’s not. And now you alone take on the responsibility of managing many lives be they plants or animals.

    Yes it’s rewarding keeping a baby calf alive in -30 weather but be prepared to wake up every couple hours to keep watch on the animals. Also say goodbye to vacations. Without a family member or 5 to help out it’s hard to take a vacation without worrying that coyotes got into the chicken coop or other shenanigans.
