The world's largest brain-like neurocomputer has been unveiled. It has the same capacity as a monkey's brain, can run AI models like Deepseek, and uses the same amount of power as an electric kettle. (self.futurology)

I sometimes wonder if the future implications of neuromorphic computing are under-reported and discussed.

Neuromorphic chips have the potential to be true human/computer interfaces, in the way silicon chips just can't be. AI trained on neuromorphic computers may be more human-like, and very different from AI trained on silicon chips. If AI was to be integrated with a human brain, they would seem the most obvious candidate.

Finally, there's their fuel efficiency. That seems really futuristic compared to today's talk, from some AI leaders, of coal-fired AI data centers the size of Manhattan.

I mean, it's a milestone, just one that doesn't matter...

It's not just the number of neurons, microtubules support sustained quantum super position in the brain and until we can simulate that part, we're never going to simulate a brain.
