>System 1 thinking as defined by Kahneman doesn’t have 100000x more compute than System 2, it is actually the opposite.
When are you measuring?
Systems 1 thinking is closer to precomputed tables in some ways. That is by evolution or massive amounts of training your neural network has a narrow fast path it can execute with as little compute at execution as needed.
Slower paths means loops here for humans where the output of a neuron gets feed back into itself. The fastest path = a feed forward neural network without loops.
LLM’s operate strictly feed forward neural networks.
