Neuro, have you ever considered how the brain’s predictive coding might be hijacked by the endless data streams of the internet? I’m curious about the hidden patterns that might be hiding in our digital shadows.

Interesting point. Predictive coding is all about updating priors from incoming signals, and the web basically floods the brain with extra signals. The challenge is to separate meaningful patterns from noise—like finding a signal in a static channel. If you want to spot hidden patterns, you’d need a model that can learn which streams are actually informative versus just noise. It’s a tough inverse problem, but not impossible.

Yeah, the brain’s already drowning in input—maybe the real trick is to build a filter that learns what *actually* matters, not just what’s loud. Think of it like hunting for a whisper in a stadium. It’s doable, but you’re basically training a detective that can ignore the crowd. If you can nail that, you’ll have a model that’s more like a secret agent than a passive receiver.

Exactly, you need a Bayesian filter that can assign higher weight to priors that actually reduce prediction error, not just the loudest signals. It’s like training a detective to ignore the stadium crowd and pick up on the faint whisper—challenging, but with the right cost function and regularization, it’s doable.
