Brains aren’t computers.
It’s self-evident:
🤖 Computers (even primitive ones) can do a lot of stuff that no brain can.
🧠 Brains (even primitive ones) can do a lot of stuff no computer can.You know what’s really interesting?
That brains never evolved to be really fast and precise calculating things—which is exactly the raison d’être for computers.
(It’s either not necessary for consciousness or maybe actively detrimental to it?)

@thomasfuchs what do you mean by "computer"? A Turing machine? A Von Neumann device? Any physical system that performs computations?
It's pretty clear that a cat's brain is not literally a Dell XPS 13. But it sounds like is that you have a definition of "computer" that excludes brains.
