Thanks. And I repeat my question elsewhere : you don't think that the human
brain which does this in say half a second, (right?), is using massive
computation to recognize that face?
You guys with all your mathematical calculations re the brain's total
neurons and speed of processing surely should be able to put ball-park
figures on the maximum amount of processing that the brain can do here.
Hawkins argues:
"neurons are slow, so in that half a second, the information entering your
brain can only traverse a chain ONE HUNDRED neurons long. ..the brain
'computes' solutions to problems like this in one hundred steps or fewer,
regardless of how many total neurons might be involved. From the moment
light enters your eye to the time you [recognize the image], a chain no
longer than one hundred neurons could be involved. A digital computer
attempting to solve the same problem would take BILLIONS of steps. One
hundred computer instructions are barely enough to move a single character
on the computer's display, let alone do something interesting."
IOW, if that's true, the massive computational approach is surely
RIDICULOUS - a grotesque travesty of engineering principles of economy, no?
Like using an entire superindustry of people to make a single nut? And, of
course, it still doesn't work. Because you just don't understand how
perception works in the first place.
Oh right... so let's make our computational capabilities even more massive,
right? Really, really massive. No, no, even bigger than that....?

Could you give an example or two of the kind of problems that your AGI
system(s) will need such massive capabilities to solve? It's so good - in
fact, I would argue, essential - to ground these discussions.
For example, I ask the computer "who is this?" and attach a video clip from
my
security camera.
