And yet we have brains. This brute force approach to machine learning is quite effective but has problems scaling. So, new energy sources or new thinking?

We just run the AI for a gazillion epochs and then it’s overfitted evolved intelligence. Thanks Darwin we did it again.

It’d be way easier to just grow brains instead
