alt Hacker News> The real frontier of AI lies in the messy, rich, sensory world where people live. We’ll need new hardware (sensors), new data representations (beyond tokens), and new ways to train models that grow understanding from experience, not just patterns.
Like Dr. Who said: DALEKs aren't brains in a machine, they are the machine!
Same is true for humans. We really are the whole body, we're not just driving it around.
There are many people who mentally developed while paralyzed that literally drive around their bodies via motorized wheelchair. I don't think there's any evidence that a brain couldn't exist or develop in a jar, given only the inputs modern AI now has (text, video, audio).
