The speaker analogizes human aging to collapse, saying people revisit familiar thoughts and repeat themselves more over their lives, while learning rates decline and the collapse worsens until overall functioning deteriorates.

“Solutions to this possibly Mm and I-hmm. also think humans collapse over time”

“I think this is, again,”

“these analogies are surprisingly good,”

“but humans collapse during the course of their lives.”

“This is why children have completely,”

“you know, they haven't overfit yet.”

“And they will say stuff that will shock you because it's kind of, you can see where they're coming from,”

“but it's just not the thing people say.”

“And because they are not yet collapsed.”

“But we're collapsed,”

“we end up revisiting the same thoughts,”

“we end up, you know, saying more and more of the same stuff,”

“and the learning rates go down.”

“and the collapse continues to get worse and then everything deteriorates have you seen this super interesting paper that”
