Stop trying to mimic brains. Do what works best for transistors.
Eg dropout was (allegedly) inspired by our doubled up chromosomes and evolutionary selection.
We need both to work on improving what we have that works, and to explore other avenues and inspirations (both to try entirely new things, and to improve the things we already have working in new ways). I don’t think it wise to throw out what we have working to try again with something biologically inspired, but I also don’t think it wise to say ok we’ve learned enough from biology, let’s focus purely on what we have now, when we don’t understand so much about biological brains, intelligence, and consciousness.
That’s not what I said.
Try different things, choose what works, as opposed to trying to imitate biology for the sake of imitating biology.
Right now, we know that biology works, because of animal and human intelligence. We don’t yet know if our other approaches have the ability to eventually lead to that.
