Jeff Hawkins: Brain science is about to fundamentally change computing

"An you go: oh shit!" lol

Totally awesome BUT it makes me a little skeptical when this guy demands a complete explanation on brain theory yet so easily dismisses a spiritual worldview?

this will be handed out to the unscrupulous people, and this will be the end of the human mind, the free will mind.
Control, Control, Control.

Math is for the most part based on laws not theories. Probablility is the area for prediction. Multiplication, subtraction and division are not. Neither is the ability to spell. Its largely regurgitating what we have learned and remember. No prediction for the most part. I can enjoy a movie or novel without trying to figure out what happens next. I relate to or understand what I have seen because of intelligence. I ponder or laugh at the dialog, because of memory empathy and analysis.

even creativity is prediction. It comes from knowing the world. So everything you named is about predictions. Take for example planes and their building. How did they create planes:D It took them time. They made test and failed so they made more accurate predictions until they succseeded. Take creation of theories. First theories fail, but once there is enought data the theory is succesfull.

No it isn't. You're both reductionists. Some intelligence is just rote learning. The ability to memorize procedures. Addition tables. Spelling. As for creativity a song pops into your head, you record it. You stumble upon something on guitar or keyboards, and record it. Calling all intelligence prediction is just a moronic oversimplification. Making reality seem to conform to a theory rather than visa versa. When you use times table you are not predicting anything, but applying established laws

no you just learn numbers and with the rules you make a procedure to predict the number. We call it calculation but its just a intelligent prediction. Two apples and two apples are for apples and thats it. And I agree the brain is big and gives us a lot, but he explains it in 20 minutes and he assumed that people understand the need for theory. We look smart because we learn for a looong time.
