To LLMs, humans will seem like trees.
- To LLMs, humans will seem like trees.
- Humans can perceive at most about 10 bits of information per second.
- This was explored in a paper called The Unbearable Slowness of Being.
- This is as fast as human OODA loops can go.
- This loop is likely faster than any other animal.
- Our whole constructed environment is designed around that 10 bits per second limit we all share.
- But computers have a massively faster OODA loop[rn].
- Before computers were entirely mechanistic.
- Now with LLMs they can do human-style reasoning.
- What happens when we are no longer the fastest twitch "species"?[ro]
- There's a mesmerizing video by Adam Magyar of an insanely fast frame rate of people on a subway platform.
- In it, the people look like trees.
- That's how we'd look to something that has a massively faster OODA loop.
