Life is a form of predictive processing, like LLMs try to mimic life by predicting the next word, brains are constantly predicting the state of the world itself.

LLMs run on billions, gigawatts, and all of human knowledge to predict the next word.

Life runs on scraps to predict the next world.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s computation alone.
