the funny thing to me is money and wisdom are somewhat inversely corellated. thus the "core algorithm" is knowable but almost nobody would want to know it because then there is not mystery to rent seek from. The cost of discovery is strikingly cheap. Mimicing neuron for neuron is like if the wright brothers made a plane with feathers and flappy wings.
I feel like Jeff hawkins was working on this with HTMs, but they never really took off. I suspect it was hardware adaptability based, memory access patterns for sparse graph training aren't ideal candidates for t/gpus.
There are ample known facts and published theories about neuroscience that have never brought together into a coherent framework. Everyone has their pet theories and focuses just on them in isolation. Let me know when some funder is genuinely interested in putting all the pieces together instead of grandstanding on a single idea.
1. Support an anti-intellectual fascist.
2. Have them cancel lots of basic science, run up debt and hand you part of the country's future income as tax cuts.
3. Use the tax cuts to do basic science privately
4. Get hailed as a hero of science
