Here is an idea. Maybe the most optimized neural network is the brain. Computation to energy consumption ratio. So essentially the way doing this in silicon is just pointless. There must be a reason we can do so much while consuming so little, and then again struggling with other tasks. What is the success if we build a machine that consumes just heaps of energy and then is as bad in maths as us?

There's a couple of false dichotomies here - to say that because we're "more optimised" we must be the most optimised. Our brains are optimised well for certain things, sure, but computers are far more efficient at e.g. crunching numbers than we are - to say that there's no success in a machine that can't currently beat us at math - this year has already proven that false

  That google paper really gave a bunch of idiots a whole bunch of ammunition. The four color theorem was proven by a machine long ago and it was worthless, about as worthless as what funsearch did!
