LLM'S don't work like the human brain, you are comparing apples to suspension bridges.

The human brain works by the series of interconnected nodes and complex chemical interactions, LLM's work on multi-dimensional search spaces, their brains exist in 15 billion spatial dimensions. Yours doesn't, you can't compare the two and come up with any kind of meaningful comparison. All you can do is challenge it against human level tasks and see how it stacks up. You can't estimate it from complexity.

LLM's work on multi-dimensional search spaces

You're missing half of it. The data cube is just for storing and finding weights. Those weights are then loaded into the nodes of a neural network to do the actual work. The neural network was inspired by actual brains.

I wonder where it got it's name from?

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I have no idea. Maybe someone with a larger neural network than mine can figure it out.

I mean you can model a neuronal activation numerically, and in that sense human brains are remarkably similar to hyper dimensional spatial computing devices. They’re arguably higher dimensional since they don’t just integrate over strength of input but physical space and time as well.
