If “pruning is all you need” that does feel like a way of explaining how intelligence could come out of a mass of neurons such as our brain. Or at least that sounds like a thing that makes it understandable to me. Basically add a bunch of connections relatively randomly, start pruning slowly until you hit a point where the system changes... I’ll keep hand waving until somebody who knows this stuff can chime in.. :)
