Reply to comment by billjames1685 in [D] At what tasks are models better than humans given the same amount of data? by billjames1685

The human brain was "pretrained" by around 500 million years of evolution (origin of first vertebrate).

​

Fear of heights seems somewhat inborn for example.

Now let's figure out how to store such a pretrained model in ~700MBytes of genetic code, without disturbing the other info about how all non-brainy enzymes, organs and tissues, etc.. should be built and assembled together.

The stable diffusion model is only 4GB, yet its enough to describe almost anything visually. Its also an extremely size-unoptimized model.

Now the 800MB is mostly spent on other things, but even 8mb, if optimized enough, is plenty to encode a vast amount of visual information into our brains, including a hyper-efficient-accurate human face recognizer, a hatred of bugs/mice/spiders/snakes, a liking of fluffy and shiny stuff, etc.

There is epigenetics, microbiome, and some other stuff as well.
