I don’t think anyone who is aware enough is under the assumption that neural nets are a one to one replication of neurons. It’s more of a special type of graph. That said one could also represent a human brain as a special type of graph.

I’m not saying they are identical but they are similar in the sense that a neuron cannot reason. It’s only in a quite large and densly connected neural network we believe there is reasoning.

Neurons are incapable of reasoning they’re just firing based on a deterministic action potential. What are neural networks doing but creating internal models of reality and guessing what’s next based on patterns?

I think the pace of development is such that it’s only a few years before humans are no longer in the chain of decision making. It was just 2017 when the infamous transformer paper came out.

Have you been anywhere? Racism is just a full on aspect of most places I’ve been west or not. Like anyone Asian whatsoever is just mchina or anyone white whatsoever from anywhere is mzungu and both get treated differently than wafrika. Same to locals, if you’re dealing with a hiring manager and you are in his tribe you’ll likely get the job, if you’re a different ethnicity then probably not.

I’m not sure being aligned with the west means much while people are extremely critical in and outside western countries about racism.

Japan, where racism doesn’t usually get the same criticism it does elsewhere for whatever reason…
