86 Billion Neurons vs. Silicon: Biological Complexity Sparks Hardware Efficiency Crisis

🧠 The Neuromorphic Mirage: Questioning the Biological Benchmark 86 billion biological units outperform silicon, yet we struggle with register constraints. A biological mirage? 🧠 Hardware 'sparsity' is currently just a mask for massive routing overhead. Are we building efficient chips or just chasing a flawed biological model? — Tech architects, is
