> A lot of that learning bias was worked out through evolution... which takes that 300+ petabytes and multiplies it by... many lifetimes. That also seems several orders of magnitude off. Would you suspect that a human that only experiences life through H.264-compressing glasses, MP3-recompressing headphones etc. does not develop a coherent world model? What about a human only experiencing a high fidelity 3D rendering of the world based on an accurate physics simulation? The claim that humans need petabytes of data to develop their mind seems completely indefensible to me. > A lot of that learning bias was worked out through evolution... which takes that 300+ petabytes and multiplies it by... many lifetimes. Isn't that like saying that you only need the right data? In which case I'd completely agree :) | ||

"The claim that humans need petabytes of data to develop their mind seems completely indefensible to me." And yet every human you know is using petabytes of data to develop their mind. :) | ||
