One argument I have been making publicly is that I think Ajeya’s Bioanchors report greatly overestimated human brain compute. I think a more careful reading of Joe Carlsmith’s report that hers was based on supports my own estimates of around 1e15 FLOPs.
Am I getting things mixed up, or isn’t that just exactly Ajeya’s median estimate? Quote from the report: ”Under this definition, my median estimate for human brain computation is ~1e15 FLOP/s.”
