Your brain does on 20 watts what AI needs a nuclear reactor to attempt. Last week a team figured out how to print something that actually speaks to living brain cells.

Amazon bought a 960 megawatt nuclear reactor for AI servers. Microsoft restarted Three Mile Island. Stargate is spending 500 billion dollars on data centres. All of this to do, badly, what your brain does for free on the power of a dim light bulb. The reason is that silicon processes information nothing like the brain does. Rigid chips with identical transistors trying to mimic something soft, three dimensional, constantly rewiring itself, with billions of different neurons each doing something slightly different. Northwestern University just published research showing they printed artificial neurons from MoS2 and graphene ink that produced biologically realistic electrical spikes. They tested on living mouse brain cells. The brain responded as if the signal came from one of its own cells....
