So what you're saying is, the most efficient AI is not a data center of GPUs, it's... a giant tank of lab-grown brains.

There's an entire field called Biological Computing which studies precisely that (not AI, more around general purpose computing).

As a counter to my original thought, perhaps simulating the computation of a skull-sized organic system is possible by building an earth-sized silicon system.

That's literally what a think tank is.

Or a research university, for that matter. The labs are where our brains grow.

They didn’t say that at all. It seems like you wanted to say it.
