I had a conversation with Mike X Cohen, PhD, a neuroscientist-turned-educator, about neuroscience and AI. Mike just released a book, “50 ML projects to understand LLMs”, and we chatted about the difficulty in understanding LLMs, their relationship (or lack thereof) to brains, and the relationship of AI to neuroscience more generally.
We talked about this post of Mike’s, about how biological neurons differ from the “neurons” in artificial neural networks:
We also discussed at the end Mike’s departure from academia, which you can read more about here:
Make sure to check out Mike’s publication and his company website if you’re looking for educational materials for learning math with a bit of coding.
