Ah yes, because if a fancy Meta AI can do it, surely our primitive brains are just slacking off, right? 🤖🧠 Seems like someone forgot that we're not all walking compasses like those show-off honey bees and cockroaches. 😂 #EvolutionarySlacker

If a Meta AI model can read a brain-wide signal, why wouldn’t the brain?

In 2023, Meta researchers were able to decode images in thoughts from the brain's magnetic fields. What if that's how the brain coordinates it's own global state?

> For all the alleged complexity of generative AI, at their core they really are models of language.
> The problem is that according to current neuroscience, human thinking is largely independent of human language — and we have little reason to believe ever more sophisticated modeling of language will create a form of intelligence that meets or surpasses our own.

Large language mistake

Neuroscience indicates language is distinct from thought, raising questions about whether AI large language models are a viable path to artificial general intelligence.

    “Consciousness,” although challenging to define, can be thought of as a first-person awareness of one’s surroundings and oneself. You sense the world through your eyes, nose, ears and hands, and track your internal bodily states via interactions between your cells. These data streams collide to give rise to your personal perception of the world, your place within it, and your motivations for moving through it.

    An enduring question about consciousness is how this state of awareness comes about. Is consciousness simply the result of a bunch of chemical reactions? Or is there some extra “secret ingredient”?

    In the book “One Hand Clapping: Unraveling the Mystery of the Human Mind” (Prometheus/Swift Press, 2025), New York University neuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin explores these questions. To do so, he traces the evolutionary history of human consciousness from the formation of Earth’s first DNA molecules to present-day Homo sapiens. Kukushkin studies memory in non-brain biological systems, such as human kidney cells, as well as in simple organisms such as sea slugs. He also considers himself a “molecular philosopher.”
