*The human genome provides enough information to be able to soak up
much more information from the environment, but until a child starts
to do that, until he starts to learn, he's as dumb as a brick. And
when a modern neural network is first wired up it also is as dumb as a
brick and needs to learn. The real secret sauce in things like GPT and
Claude is not the program itself but the weights given to the nodes of
its neural net. *
And those weights don't just fall from heaven. They are determined by
using huge repositories of training data. So I'd say the real secret
sauce is 300yrs worth of recorded human knowledge. Einstein only
learned a tiny bit of that knowledge, but then he extended it in a
surprising way. Let's see if AI can do that.
