@yosumajirokatu @GillVerd @BasedBeffJezos @MLStreetTalk If the interviewer was just making a tangential comment I would say fine, no problem, gotta keep things on track.

The problem is that Beff’s whole “brain is a thermodynamic computer” claim is false, and the brain being far from the Landauer limit is a key way we know that!

@liron @GillVerd @BasedBeffJezos @MLStreetTalk I don’t agree with everything @GillVerd says but here he just said “right”. The entire argument was brought up by the interviewer and Gill tone seems skeptical actually

What a charlatan @GillVerd / @BasedBeffJezos is.

First minute into his hourlong interview about thermodynamic computing, he casually implies the human brain is “operating near the Landauer limit” 🤡

It's actually about 10^8 less efficient. How about some pushback @MLStreetTalk?

The conversation involves a debate about the efficiency of the human brain in relation to thermodynamic computing, specifically the Landauer limit. The tone is critical and somewhat confrontational, with accusations of misinformation. The initial statement questions the validity of a claim made in an interview, suggesting a need for clarification or correction.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement aims to address potential misinformation, which aligns with the principle of doing no harm by seeking truth. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The use of terms like 'charlatan' and the clown emoji could be seen as disrespectful, potentially violating the principle of respecting others' dignity. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but could be more constructive and less personal. [-1]
