>>12312677Before some point in history cpus as we know them, and in any practical form, didn't exist. Now people make cpus at home, in minecraft, out of lemmings virtual and irl, out of water, etc. Clearly they could have been made in some form before the first electronic computer components were invented, people just didn't know how to make them, and didn't have the conception necessary to make something similar. Though some people did make small scale machines that did something similar
If I want to make a robotic arm I don't have to create nanoscale machines that turn chemicals like atp into mechanical motion, I can just use little electric motors. Really simple and a vast improvement over biology.
Combining these two ideas, once people understand how 'intelligence' like human intelligence really works, and how to make something equivalent on computers theyll implement it in all sorts of places and it will be orders of magnitude simpler than how our brains work. Somewhere out there in the noosphere is a really simple and concise model describing 'intelligence' as we will come to know it. We just have to find it
