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 a vastly simplified model. Real neurons can’t be approximated with a couple of weights - each neuron is at least as complex as a multi-layer RNN.

      I’d love to know more.

      I recently read “The brain is a computer is a brain: neuroscience’s internal debate and the social significance of the Computational Metaphor” and found it compelling. It bristled a lot of feathers on Lemmy, but think their critique is valid.

      Do you have any review resources? I have a bit of knowledge around biology and biochemistry, but haven’t studied neuroscience.

      And no pressure. It’s a lot to ask dor some random person on the internet. Cheers!
