Human pattern matching beats neural networks
Quote
one thing we do know is that the human ability to pattern match is unparalleled. paralleled, you have the ability to assimilate multiple streams, dozens and dozens of streams of information all in one shot

Summary
When asked whether a dedicated neural network could out-match humans on 4.6 million feeds, Dave points to Bayesian spam filters in the early 2000s: hailed as the answer, they made zero dent. Neural networks are matrix math, and humans don't work that way. We take in dozens of streams of information at once and get a 'sense' we can't define.

you know how much of a dent it made? Zero. We have more spam than we've ever had ever there. You cannot. Humans are better at pattern matching.
