I love your enthusiasm in this direction (I really do).
But here's some free advice I won't be able to prove for a long time:
Anyone who is currently convinced that somehow our fledgling efforts in the direction of building useful ML models are somehow going to yield a new golden age of neuroscience and understanding of the brain-- rather than the other way around-- is gonna be in for a long and frustrating next couple of decades, especially if they're low-openness types.
- cardine 4y agoI don't think the person you were responding to was claiming that. The brain plausibly having something akin to a language model doesn't imply that building or studying language models will unlock a better understanding of the brain.
