Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. The apparent leisureliness of natural processes conceals an efficiency that frantic human activity can never match.

For computers, actions are a cheat code around the costs of simulation. If human brains are much more efficient than best-in-class LLMs, then we can get all of that computation practically for free by observing how humans respond to the countless variables in their environments. This gives us a way to do non-deterministic computing efficiently and create simulations that shouldn't be possible under traditional compute constraints.
