Somehow we must be doing this wrong.

"Do you realize that the human brain has been liken to an electronic brain? Someone said and I don't know whether he is right or not, but he said, if the human brain were put together on the basis of an IBM electronic brain, it would take 7 buildings the size of the Empire State Building to house it, it would take all the water of the Niagara River to cool it, and all of the power generated by the Niagara River to operate it." (Sermon by Paris Reidhead, circa 1950s.[1])

We're there on size and power. Is there some more efficient way to do this?

We're getting close. The first big AI bankruptcy can't be far off.

		Lol well OAI is falling apart at the seams. Simo takes a medical leave. And there appears to be friction between the CEO and CFO.
