Secondly how do we get to claim that a particular thing is neuromorphic when we have such a rudimentary understanding of how a biological brain works or how it generates things like a model of the world, understanding of self etc etc.
Estimates put training of gpt4 at something like 2500 gpu years to train, over about 10000 gpus. 20 years would be a big improvement.
What I'm trying to express is we seem to want to cherry pick certain features from nature but ignore others that are inconvenient and that is understandable, but currently because our knowledge of the biological systems is so incomplete we really don't know which (if any) of these features gives rise to intelligence. For all we know we could be doing training in a seemingly-efficient way that completely precludes intelligence actually emerging.
