Does Danny Hillis' Connection Machine have a von Neumann bottleneck? Do transputer arrays separate processing and memory?

When custom silicon is made to speed up LLM behaviour doesn't that operate fully parallel with mixed memory and processing?

When real time remote sensing signal processing pipelines are built isn't it possible to parallel in the kinds of filters that "anticipate" the expected future (and highlight deviations from the expected).

Yes... when these things are done, we can talk. Which is why I said "I believe machines could be made that think". They can be. We just haven't done it yet.
