Getting Intelligent about the Brai n
by October 27, 2004 6:43 AM PDT
Great remarks and great claims by J Hawkins
Brains do NOT produce an output from every input

Some of the main differences of Brains and Computers are teh books
"Understanding Computers and Cognition" Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores (Ablex Publishing)

and

The embodied mind:cognitive science and human experience by Francisco Varela, Helen Reusch and Evan Thompson, (MIT press)

Understanding the brain AS a computer is a common trap and error.

The Brain and Computer...

Has anybody else figured out that the internet is really like a gigantic brain? Think about the information stored, relevent content, linking within itself, various systems...etc.

Google has it right. Search is way more important as there is plenty of content to pull from.

Interner does not work in the same way the brain does.

There is no prediction or understanding from the net itself. The content is provided by human brains, but the actual net is not different from any computer. As far as google, you feed in the input and google delivers the results. That's quite differenct from the brain activity...

My reply about IT and the parties ended up in the wrong place

Sorry. I agree that this Palm guy has got something with his approach to AI. So far AI has been dominated by the types who seek to mimic complex human behaviours without understanding the brain processes behind them. They think that, for example, if you can get a computer to spit out language that seems human, it's AI.
