Brain Size and Learning
Increasing the dimensionality of a problem reduces the likelihood of encountering local minima, making gradient descent increasingly effective. Despite the high energy demands of large brains, evolution has favored their growth, suggesting that the learning algorithms in our brains are efficient at scaling with neuron count. The discussion raises intriguing questions about the potential for alternative algorithms that could also scale effectively.In this clip
