In college 2004-2008 I was ridiculed a few times for thinking Neural Networks were interesting. The way I saw it was human intelligence was built on neural network. All we were missing were sufficiently accurate models of neurons or scale.

In middle school I estimated to rival the processing power of a human brain you would need the processing power of an Empire State building full of Pentium 3 processors. It was a pretty rough calculation. I'm having a hard time remembering just how it went.

I had a similar experience when I wanted to focus on NN research in 2007. My advisor had the wrong incentives. FML.
