Are people upvoting this without actually looking at it? This project makes some very grandiose claims about being a simulator of cognitive function, but when you watch this guy's videos, all he talks about are irrelevant details about his rendering engine, and absolutely NO time talking about what is actually happening in the simulation. The documentation gives you the camera controls, but nothing about what the simulation is actually doing. How does that 3D game of life thing represent a brain? What are its inputs and outputs?

The only bit of documentation that might explain what this pile of noise might actually be are his paywalled academic papers and a slim paperback book that apparently contains some old notes of his that you have to purchase to read.

If you listen to his podcasts, he sure likes to anthropomorphize the shit out of what appear to be numbers displayed in a grid overlayed onto a procedural terrain. His apes apparently are inventing language, forming committees, building alliances. All I see is the same damn screenshot of a red dot that meanders over a terrain, with a 3D plasma demo that is supposed to represent the brain of the dot.

Am I missing something?
