▲ 106 ▼ Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human?

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) What I find fascinating is the efficiency of the brain. With a supercomputer and the energy of a nuclear station to run it we are able to simulate a handful of neurons interacting with each other. On the other hand the brain with billions of neurons only requires the energy of one or two potato to run. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] x86x87@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago To be fair, nature had millions od years to optimize the power consumption and we only observe the successful results since the failures didn't survive. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Brickardo@feddit.nl 1 point 2 years ago* We're having our particular technological revolutions as well.
