Brain Blasting Imagery

I happen to think that 99% is just the BIOS

[AEnisanci]

All that storage and still I cant remember where I left my keys

This is where The Matrix got it wrong.

The machines would have used us as CPUs and data storage, not power production.

As a neuroscience student who knows about computer science and loves to program, I have something to say
The brain doesn't really work like that. People always love to compare a brain to computers, and I understand why, but remember, your brain IS NOT A COMPUTER, instead, your brain is something way beyond that.
And your brain doesn't really store up things like a computer does in it's SSD/HD, to "store" stimuli, memories, etc, your brain doesn't "store" it, instead, it builds a pattern that creates that memory/stimuli, so for example, If those 5 neurons up here fire in a certain rhythm, it brings up one memory, but if they fire, but in a different rhythm, it's another memory.

The truly insane part is that your brain utalizes and renders all senses in real time constantly without a break for several hours and up to days on end.

Remembering something useless: 1.4 petabytes
Studying for an exam: 12 kilobytes

"1.6 Zettabytes"

Just say one modern video game

[LoveHateRunning]

Sadly my two brain cells are rubbing together to form enough thermal energy to understand the first word of this video

[FormerWWLeaderInArgentina]

People talking about forgetting, y'all need to understand that even in a computer, you'd need to know where you put your data to access them. Sometimes you remember the most useless facts/events from your life, it so happens that you happened to trigger that part of the brain

I love that the comparison was how many instances of RDR2 I could fit in a cubic millimeter of my brain

[Damariobros]

I think people aren't quite understanding this — it's the SCAN of the brain that takes up this much space in their storage centers, it's not how much storage the brain has. This scan is detailed at the atomic level, meaning it's showing where each and every individual atom is placed, and that kind of detailed render is taking up 1.4 petabytes.

[jacobtinkle]

Remember not to switch that up with the amount of storage our brains have! That would be the equivalent of saying humabs had 300 gazillion zettabytes of storage because thats how much information is needed to store the position of every single atom in every storage center

[SebastianD]

just because it takes up that much storage to accurately model, doesn’t mean it can actually store that much

[TheEvilCat.]

Future computers built by human brains 💀

[taras]

The read dead thing was a relative example for his American audience

"1.6 zettabytes of storage"

*Forgets basic math*

[FredbearOfficial]

"Brother, your brain can hold 1.6 zetabytes of information, how do you just 'forget?'"

[Ian-lwjm]

Brains casually seeing how brain works

[apple.]

1.6 zettabytes!

So 28 human brains could contain the whole internet

[garretaustin]

A lot of people are mixing what he said up he didn’t say the brain holds 1.6 petabytes he said to get a 3D render of the brain it takes 1.6 petabytes of storage
