Fast progress is achieved when people are forced to change the way they think, which happens when you suddenly lift an existing constraint, or introduce a new one

I think you'd see a lot of AI progress happen all of a sudden if you took away all the GPUs

Yup, and replace them with TPUs :)

Ahaha I was just thinking yesterday: Instead of increasing our computational powers, we need to come up with more efficient solutions! “What if GPUs did not exist. ”

+1 from me. There is a mental problem only.

I doubt it. There was plenty of time to come up with brilliant solutions before GPUs were a thing; didn't happen.

If you spent years working with a CPU, and I give you a GPU, you will come up with something new. If everything you've done in the past few years requires a GPU, and I take it away, you will come up with something new.

That was the whole trend with genetic computing in the early 2000s, but we made so little progress people were giving up hope. Then tensors started magically working because we had all the compute power in the world to throw at them and we started getting something.

Maybe we will start looking beyond computational descriptions of the brain and intelligence.

The history of metaphors for memory and consciousness is like a history of technology: scrolls, maps, books, cameras, holograms, computers...
