There are many things on earth that don't exist anywhere else in the universe (as far as we know). Life is one of them. Just think how unfathomably complex human brains are compared to what's out there in space.
Just because something doesn't exist anywhere in the universe doesn't mean that humans can't create it (or humans can't create a machine that creates something that doesn't exist anywhere else) even if it might seem unimaginably complex.
I haven't see the movie (only a few clips), but I enjoyed hearing this analogy from Steve Jobs himself in many of his interviews [0].
Just checked the part [1] of the movie where Michael Fassbender talks about the bicycle of the mind. He is a very good actor but it's hard to match the energy and the electric focus of Steve Jobs.
Smartphones in the same class as the S24 Ultra are marvels of engineering. The fact that we no longer think how amazing modern technology is and instead focus solely on their intended functions is a testament to how much we as a civilization have achieved.
Given the size of Apple and the amount of business they are likely to generate for OpenAI, they might be one of the (if not _the_) most non-regular customers of OpenAI.
Perhaps people should use the term "non-functional DNA" instead of "junk DNA" more often. Calling something as "junk" has unnecessarily dismissive connotations.
I wonder whether there might be a bidirectional connection between the ear and the brain. For example, the brain creates some internal activity, which in turn stimulates the more outer components of the auditory system.
