If evolution had access to TSMC's process technology, do you think it wouldn't leverage it? The signals in my AMD CPU propagate ~1,000,000x faster than the ones in my brain.

Super big fan of your work on cellular automata. Do you have anything interesting papers coming up?

Yeah. But we need throw money at studying the brain, instead of another billion to "agents which understand you truly"
