Degrees of entropy perhaps? CPU's are low entropy in that they are highly ordered and organised - firing only when specifically expected to, whereas brains are high entropy in that they get to a result by riding a fine line between randomness and order and those connections are not inherently expensive.
That and billions of years of optimising for low energy switches.
- readyplayernull 2y agoYeah, there could be something. Computers fight entropy to gain precision, so intelligence should benefit of fuzzyness to get the "free energy meal". But that brings a sort of uncertainty principle. We might be able to grasp what intelligence is, but like a cloud of electrons we will never be sure of its detailed state.
- burnished 2y agoThink that 'grasp' in 'grasp what intelligence is' might be load bearing there.
