Specifically, the use of organic materials to build robust, low power networks that get past the von Neumann bottleneck and allow us to incorporate new levels of sensing into our environment and lives seems extraordinary. TPUs and chips are obviously interesting for orgs like google, but what about synthetic clusters of neurons integrated into our environment? How significant could that be? Also, what startups are working on this actively?</p><p>6 points; 2 discussion replies on HN. <a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1705.06963/">Paper and source history</a>.
