A neuromorphic supercomputer called DeepSouth will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, which is on par with the estimated number of operations in the human brain

Skeptical. As of August 2023, there are scientists still struggling with simulating C. Elegans- a single celled organism.

We don't even fully understand the brain itself, let alone how to recreate it.

This is token click bait scientific "journalism"

What's the progress of the Human Connectome Project?

If Devs was to be believed, it could totally predict the behavior patterns of that single-celled organism 20 seconds into the future. :rollseyes:
