I love this comment.

My hunch with regard to neural nets is that we’ve got something that looks like biology, and has a certain level of efficacy, but is missing a lot of the finer details that we’re unaware of in biology. Right now we’re just brute forcing problems with as much computing power and data as possible, biology obviously does better.

it’s missing a lot of the finer details that we are aware of, too.

a big one is timing — neurons in the real brain can delay firing depending on what signals they receive.

there is research in training artificial neural networks with timing but it is not widely used for AI.
