"Exploring the Boundless Depths of the Human Mind"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence
The article explores the concept of the mind being larger than the universe by using the analogy of a car using more gas than a gas can can hold. It discusses how the mind's capability can exceed the size of the universe by measuring the information required to generate a specific section of text, using Claude Shannon’s entropy. The authors argue that the entropy requirements to generate a modest piece of text like the Gettysburg Address exceed the storage capacity of the entire history of the multiverse, with implications for AI's ability to match the human mind.
