Comment on Ternary Bonsai: Top Intelligence at 1.58 Bitsparent

Comments

A 1980's desk calculator can multiply two 8 digit numbers with much less energy than your brain takes to do the same.

Modern LLM's similarly beat the human brain in lots of tasks for energy efficiency - mostly by the fact the LLM can produce the answer in 1 second and the brain has to spend half an hour researching and drafting something.

A little clarification on my original comment: "intelligence/watt", not "work/watt", is the metric I'm talking about.
