> For computational intelligence, we have one clear example of an upper limit in a biological human brain. It only consumes about 25W and has much more intelligence than today’s LLMs in important ways. Maybe that’s the wrong limit?
It's a good reference point, but I see no reason for it to be an upper limit - by the very nature of how biological evolution works, human brains are close to the worst possible brains advanced enough to start a technological revolution. We're the first brain on Earth that crossed that threshold, and in evolutionary timescales, all that followed - all human history - happened in an instant. Evolution didn't have time yet to iterate on our brain design.
