Can you elaborate? The technology to build a human brain would cost billions in today’s dollars. Are you thinking moreso about energy efficiency?

We make hundreds of millions of brains a year for the cost of their parent’s food and shelter.

That’s the known minimum cost. We have a lot of room to get costs down if we can figure out how.

I'm reminded of how insanely complex the human brain is: ~100 trillion connections. The Nvidia H100 has just 0.08 trillion transistors.
