The first supercomputer capable of simulating the human brain in real time

Misleading title

> ICNS to build brain-scale supercomputer

> The world's first supercomputer capable of simulating networks at the scale of the human brain has been announced by researchers from the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) at Western Sydney University.

Oh man, I knew when I saw this headline there was going to be a massive asterisk like this. Saved me a click.

"DeepSouth uses a neuromorphic system which mimics biological processes, using hardware to efficiently emulate large networks of spiking neurons at 228 trillion synaptic operations per second - rivalling the estimated rate of operations in the human brain."

How does it compare to GPT-4 ?

We will know on april, 2024. But only in the abscence of a judgement day.

What will David Chalmers say?
