Spin-boson Hamiltonians are an effective description for numerous quantum many-body systems such as atoms coupled to cavity modes, quantum electrodynamics in circuits and trapped ion systems. While reaching strong light-matter couplings has become practicable, the understanding of the physics in this parameter regime remains a challenge. We investigate a particular example where sufficient amounts of dissipation and disorder over the local couplings make it possible to map the spin dynamics onto an effective classical master equation; the latter is, in turn, approximately governed by a fully-connected energy function, the Hopfield model, studied in the past as a simple model for an associative memory. We highlight similarities and differences in the stationary and dynamical properties of the two systems.
