    Do you really think this technology won’t exist in our lifetime?

    Yes, absolutely. What you’re describing is AGI. If an AI could untangle engrams from branched clusters of extremely plastic neurons, it could understand and improve it’s own thinking. It would actually be self aware before it could untangle the mess that our brains are. And I don’t see AGI happening with our current material and resource constraints before I die. Seeing brain regions being active and de-novo engram implantation is about as close as an LLM is to AGI.

      It is as you say, the scale doesn’t even exist at this point

      Even the recent fly brain mapping, enhanced with AI, had to take a destructive approach to map a half a milligram brain and these people are thinking matrix reloaded already

      Being 70-80 years old sucks. My condolences. We’ll mess around with AGI when you’re gone and I’ll think about you

      Respectfully, this sounds like opinion and doubt rather than a credibly timeline. Other than rattling off industry terms the only support you’ve given your argument is “I don’t see AGI happening”. You’ve collected an impressive shopping basket of buzz words but done little to dissuade me or the engineers developing this technology that it won’t be ready within a lifetime. Stay tuned.

      Oh, and “its own thinking” not “it’s own thinking”. His, hers, its.

        Your extrapolation has about as much support. I don’t really know what bothers you about the vocabulary I used but I can say I don’t play much attention to punctuation marks when inputting text with a swipe keyboard on my phone.

          “pay much attention” not “play”. I’d be more careful with that keyboard if I were you. Wouldn’t want to lose any credibility.
