You sound quite sure of yourself, but I believe you are mistaken. The state of the electrons does indeed matter when a program is executing.
What makes you think that we will never be able to predict the outcome of a brain it we had the same knowledge of it as we did of a comparable neural network? You’d have to be a dumbass if you think that the medium matters in knowability of a system. Whether biological or mechanical, every state is possible until it’s measured, and once it is, you can determine exactly how it will function for a short period of time. Complexity does not make something unknowable, only complex, and therefore difficult to know.
Unlike the position and state of subatomic particles in any system, including that of the host of an LLM, which are unknowable.
