Thanks, justcamel. I did not know that. I am amazed there has not been more discussion on this list about my neuromorphic post above. The article I described in it, along with other articles I have read, imply we may well be within a relatively few years from having hardware with almost twice as many neurons and synapses as the human cortex on one 300mm silicon wafer, which could be manufactured at a marginal cost of $7,000 to $15,000, and would only consume about one kilowatt. Of course, there is more to making a roughly human-level AGI than that, but such relatively inexpensive and incredibly powerful AGI hardware could greatly accelerate the advent of machine superintelligence.
Given that we already know how to perform deep learning, and many other AGI algorithms, efficiently on neural net hardware, I should think the people on this mailing list who are truly interested in AGI would be extremely interested in the advances in neuromorphic computing. Neuromorphic computing is almost certainly is the path that will lead to powerful AGI. But based on the deafening silent response of this mailing list to my above post, it seems not.
