Parasma Founder & CEO @vytalow, who previously went viral for training human brain cells to play Doom, says that using them for compute could be far more energy-efficient than today’s silicon chips.
“Regardless of how efficient we make silicon, we still haven’t solved the efficiency aspect of it, in terms of power efficiency.”
“I think human brains are extremely power efficient in comparison to silicon.”
“There are things that we can harness [with human brain cells] on top of other stuff like sample efficiency and continual learning.”
