> I thought that was assumed in the sentence I wrote You might have assumed it, but your post didn't mention or even imply it. > Computers keep creeping closer and closer to how our brain works and the tradeoffs are startlingly similar. This definitely needs an explanation. In what way are computers and brains "creeping closer and closer"? > Think about it like dolphins adopting a quite similar body design and locomotion as fish, despite their completely different origins. This is another bad analogy. CPUs and human brains do not live in the same environment, and CPUs are not subjected to evolution (they could be considered instances of Intelligent Design, though ;-) ).
