    Intel’s 64-Chip Pohoiki Beach Neuromorphic System Models Human Brain To Boost CPU Performance | HotHardware

    While many might assume AI researchers all use supercomputers, nothing could be further from the truth. Intel has been making small AI research tools like these for several years now, but these chips are particularly special because they use stochastic processing, just like the brain, use almost no energy, and you can buy some of them for a few hundred bucks. The ability to put such tools in the hands of tens of thousands of researchers means they can make discoveries faster, including how to use modest AI systems to the full advantage. Although such circuitry becomes more powerful the more circuits you add, nobody has more than a vague idea of all the uses for even these chips.

    All the math and theories imply the perfect chip might have four different types of transistors and crunch numbers like the brain. Ordinary transistors are either on or off, leveraging speed and accuracy over efficiency when crunching larger numbers, while these chips sacrifice some of their speed and accuracy for much greater efficiency. Neither is better than the other, and both together can open up new worlds. Exactly what future consumer computers might use is anyone's guess, but the current digital approach is better for slapping crap together fast, while this chip is more of the artistic approach.

    AI has finally picked up a pace but, it'll still take several more years for AI to have actual intelligence.

    AI is stupid. I'm pretty sure someone is trying to map the entire human brain by like 2050 and then be able to like download it into data, you basically you could be immortal. No need for AI once you start cloning that.

    AI wouldn't know what hit it... If 24 Irminsuls punched it in its dumb nose.

    As stupid as AI is, one in five Americans insists the sun revolves around the earth, and the machines are rapidly becoming more intelligent than the average person.
