I think what people (including Hassler) care about is not so much simulating neurons, but the energy efficiency. Once we figure out AGI algorithms, we will want to build them in hardware. This justifies the continuing research in subthreshold FETs, because they could allow very efficient computation (not necessarily biologically realistic).
- hatsunearu 9y agoOf course, subthreshold FET circuits have incredibly low energy usage. And I do think that subthreshold analog neural nets have very high utility, but I am skeptical that they can be used to faithfully reproduce real neurons. I am however very confident they can be used to create real computing hardware that can efficiently do inference etc.
