Nick Bostrom estimated to simulate functional brain requires about 10^18 flops

Ants have about 300 000 less, let's say 10^13 (really closer to 10^12) flops.

Chat GPT inference per query reportedly be able to generate single word on a single A100 GPU in about 350ms. That of course if it could fit in a single GPU - it can't. You'd need 5 GPUs.

But for the purposes of this discussion we can imagine something like chatGPT can theoretically work albeit be slow on a single modified GPU with massive amounts of VRAM

A single A100 is 300 Tera flops which is about 10^14 flops. And it would be much slower than the actual chatGPT we use via the cloud.

So no I disagree that it's more limited than ants. It's definitely more complex by at least one order of magnitude at least regarding the brain complexity.

And we didn't even consider training compute load in this consideration, which is orders of magnitude bigger than inference, so the real number is probably much higher.

Having flops =/= Being an autonomous intelligent machine

This subreddit is full of delusional takes.

The word "singularity" in this subreddit refers to Ray Kurzwail book "Singularity is near". It literally assumes you read at least this book to come here where the whole premise stems on ever increasing computational capabilities that will eventually lead to AGI and ASI.

If you didn't, why are you even here?

Did you read Bostrom? Stuart Russell? Max Tegmark? Yuval Noah Harari?

You just sound like me 15 years ago, when I didn't know any better, haven't read enough, yet had more than enough technical expertise to be arrogant.

I did, I've been in this field for more than 15 years, singularity doesn't mean saying a PS5 is an autonomous intelligent machine because it has flops. Lol. Anyway I have better things to do. If you have anything relevant to share I may reply. For now it's just cringe statements of chatGPT being smarter than ants because of flops. lmao
