It gives us an idea of what’s possible in a mechanical universe. It’s possible an artificial human level consciousness and intelligence will use less power than that, or maybe somewhat more, but it’s a baseline that we know exists.
Yeah, but a LLM has little to do with a biological brain.
I think Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) will be the real deal.
You’re making a lot of assumptions. One of them being that the brain is more efficient in terms of compute per watt compared to our current models. I’m not convinced that’s true. Especially for specialized applications. Even if we brought power usage below 20 watts, the reason we currently use more is because we can, not that each model is becoming more and more bloated.
