Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa
Questions include: If human reaction speed were faster, would that be helpful? How much faster could it be? Is the limiting factor the nerve signal relays or brain processing time? - Do you find it weird that on Earth, animals with bigger brains are considered the more intelligent species, but in technology, the smarter computer chips seem to always be smaller? - Could these (neuron connections) "prove" precognitions with "impossible" results from certain people? - Do you think the brain can be trained (or not) like a muscle? - How will brains change through Neuralink connecting to AI? - I think some parts of our brains adapted to modern (laggy) typing, so we don't really perceive it anymore. - By the way, they have done the same thing to brains of whales etc. and found that those whales actually have fewer neurons than humans. It's just that the size of those neurons is very big. - I'd say societies/groups are our larger-scale developing "brains." - Would bigger brains run into heating/cooling issues? - I get the feeling we'll realize nature is so much more efficient than what we hope to do with electronics that we'll soon be relying on cells for major computation.
