Hypothesis
The brain is nothing but a prediction machine.
Suggested in [Being You](https://www.anilseth.com/being-you/), the perception process is a top-down "controlled hallucination." The brain predicts conceived "things" it will see and then "the sensory input" caused by them. Then the brain verifies or corrects the conceived things with the sensory input it actually receives.

The brain's learning process is similar to self-supervised learning in AI.
The brain learns by constantly making predictions and making corrections (in its wiring) to approach close to the actual results.

AI can achieve human-level intelligence through self-supervised learning alone.
Because this self-supervised learning process mimics the brain's learning mechanism: make predictions and learn from prediction errors.

Advances in AI R&D will bring another tech revolution same scale as the internet.
Major disruptions in businesses will start to appear around 2024 - i.e. profitable (by free cash flow) and hyper-growth companies relying on large-scale neural networks as their main tech strength.

Predicts
LLM will be instrumental in achieving at least one human-level AI task beyond NLP in 3 years
GitHub copilot is promising, but it's not human-level yet. It might be possible for Self-driving to use LLMs as foundations to build models that can predict the social behavior of humans on the street.
