Note that in order for my argument to go through, we also need the brain to be similar enough to DL systems that we can validly transfer insights from DL to the brain, and while I don’t think you could place too high of a probability 10-20 years ago on that, I do think that at the very least this should have been considered as a serious possibility, which LW mostly didn’t do.
However, we now have that evidence, and I’ll post links below:
