To both points, you appear to broadly lack technical understanding of the field. You are assuming that how things appear to you reflects how they are at a lower level.

A chronological review of the architectures of the best open models over the past 3 years should immediately make the problem clear to you. (If you really refuse to put in any effort then perhaps just dump this thread into a frontier model rather than responding.)

I don't see it? It's a rhetorical question to drive home the point about the human brain. Chip fabs and biomedical research are both viable pathways to more efficient hardware. Thanks to biology we know what's possible. If you outlaw something but don't effectively cut off all the pathways to it then someone will still do it if it's profitable.
