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

We also have to remember the brain has very sparse activity. IIRC on the order of 2% activity. Also most of the neurons are on the cerebellum, and humans without cerebellum still have general intelligence albeit with some difficulty with precise motion. The neocortex only has about 16Billion neurons and it is here that general intelligence occurs. That brings the 100POPs down to 16POPs times 0.02% activity = 320TOPS.

True, every neuron in the brain cannot possibly be firing at the same time, and much of the brain is dedicated to just keeping us alive
