My brain has the same power draw as a Switch 2? This explains a lot…

Just connect your brain up to a monitor and imagine your game with the best graphics you can possibly think of.

Capitalism has us by absolute fools.
Paying $69.99 for something someone else dreamed up.
We have a solution for this, its called going to bed and dreaming well.

I think I got the shareware version where it kicks me off after a few hours.

I remember listening to a podcast with indy devs and they agreed that engaging player’s imagination is the best way to make sure your game succeeds. And most indy games don’t have the budget for super good graphics.

Ever heard of daydreaming? A monitor is not even needed

My shit ass biochemistry needs to lock in and catch up. It can’t even run Doom or play back Bad Apple properly.
Baggie@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Visualise playing Doom in your head. It’s free, and the cops can’t stop you.

Well? Would you?!

20% of our body’s energy use is our brain, it’s a major energy expenditure.

What would happen if you did the equivalent of feeding your A.I. a healthy diet, then run a parallel system and fed it only burgers and pizza and Doritos?
Smc87@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks ago
Nothing, cos energy is energy
Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
you could probably get more energy burning a burger in a generator, than eating it. BM

My GPU can compute stuff faster than your brain though.
rtxn@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Your GPU might tell you to glue cheese to your pizza, but at least it’s fast!
Zacryon@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
It also has a lot of FLOPs. Do you have a lot of FLOPs?
kassiopaea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
ok but like, my brain would totally do that too

I can generate an image in my head faster than your GPU
Zacryon@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
But you can’t generate it faster in an output format that is visible to others than my GPU.
Except very simple sketches possibly.

My brian not do hard maths stuff tho

If you ever study biochemistry, it leaves you absolutely in awe. The best engineering we can do is pretty amazing, we have computers and airplanes and all this magic stuff, but the stuff in you is a hundred, a thousand times better made. It’s stunning. Comparatively speaking, it is perfect.

Antivirus protection could be better, though. Oh, and the built in self destruct is kind of a bummer, too.

I remember a quote from Civ along the lines of “if the brain was simple enough for us to understand, our minds would be to simple to understand it.”
silasmariner@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
It’s a pretty trivial informational paradox for a mind to comprehend itself – comprehension of its comprehension of itself then needs further comprehension… So yeah. Only a much more complex mind can understand a given mind
8baanknexer@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I think this might be a case of expecting a fish to climb a tree. Brains are terrible in fp32 performance, and computers are so far not great at reasoning. But that’s mostly because they are made for different things. I’m not sure of this, but i would expect a single neuron firing costing a similar amount of energy as a single transistor firing. The difference is in part that they work differently, but I think the most important part is that they are put together differently. Computers were made for arithmetic while brains evolved for socialising and survival. For most other things you are 100% correct though, we could not recreate a bee or an ant even if we wanted to.

I can create real time visual imagery with no apparent resolution limit or perceptible frame rate including audio and a soundtrack.

The fact that we only recently mapped out the brain really tells you a lot about its complexity.
socrates@slrpnk.net 5 weeks ago
And that was only a fruit fly brain! Human brain still hasn’t been mapped.

You’re allowed to have a type of awe and reverence for the natural world, very much akin to religion, without needing to buy into any bullshit along with it.
It used to be pretty standard, and then the Christians (among others) fucked that up for everyone, and now you can’t be anything other than an aggressive humanist atheist without people starting to make assumptions about you.
