The title reads a lot like the lab logs you'd find in a horror game.

But for the paper itself, it seems they're using genetic optimization over predefined keywords. Wonder what would happen if they did gradient descent on the latent space directly. Is brain stimulation just not a good domain for GD?

The largest LLMs right now are at best 1% the number of parameters of a human brain.

"At best" if synapses are one parameter each, real ones are probably more than that, but nobody's entirely sure yet.
