I know current learning models work a little like neurons but why not just make a sim that works exactly like how we understand neurons work

    That’s kinda the idea of neural network AI

    The problem is that neurons aren’t transistors, they don’t operate in base 2 arithmetic, and are basically an example of chaos theory, where a system is narrow enough for outer bounds to be defined, yet complex enough that the amount of “picture resolution” needed to be able to accurately predict how it will behave is currently beyond our scope of understanding to replicate or even theorize on.

    This is basically the realm where you’re no longer asking for math to fetch a logical answer to a question and more trying to use it as a way to perfectly calculate the future like an oracle trying to divine one’s own fate from the stars. It even comes with its own system of cool runes!

    I fully imagine we will have a precise calculation of Rayo’s Number before we have a binary computer capable of being raised as a human with a fully human intelligence and emotional depth.

    More likely I see the “singularity” coming in the form of someone who figures out how to augment human intelligence with an AI neural implant capable of the sorts of complex calculations that are impossible for a human mind to fathom while benefiting from human abilities for pattern recognition to build more accurate models.

    If someone figures out how to do this without accidentally creating a cheap 80’s slasher villain, it will immediately become the single most sought after medical device in human history, as these new augmented mind humans will instantly become a major competitive pressure for even most manual labor jobs.
