- CobrastanJorji 9y agoA human eats maybe 2500 calories per day, right? That's about 100 watts, I think? That's a pretty serious restriction.

- kllrnohj 9y ago2500 kcals/day would be around 121 watts, yeah. But computers have much lower idle consumption than humans. So if we assume alphago idles at ~45w that would consume around 1000 kcal for 21 hours leaving 1500 kcal for the 3 hours it was given to think which would be more like 580 watts. That sounds pretty doable.
- jjaredsimpson 9y agoHumans should just use more power. But they can't which is why machines are superior.
- adventured 9y agoHumans can use more power, they're just a lot more limited in their potential. Michael Phelps gets up to like 400 watts per day while at peak training.
- jjaredsimpson 9y agoWhat's the difference between having a limited potential and being inferior?
