Unconventional AI CEO Naveen Rao on the incredible energy efficiencies of biological systems relative to technology: "Biology sort of started small, figured out some basic principles, and those principles scaled. So the efficiency came first." "What we've done is actually the inverse. We've brute forced our way through it, throwing everything we possibly could, and now we're understanding, 'Oh actually I didn't need to do all of that, there's a lot of things I can keep chipping away at, and I can go smaller, and smaller, and smaller.'" "Just to kind of put it in perspective — biology, through this process of kind of the bottoms-up — a squirrel runs on 10 milliwatts of energy. Your cell phone runs on about one watt." "10 milliwatts, and it can do things at precision levels that we cannot do in a megawatt. I can't make a robot jump between branches in the wind and hit the branch perfectly a thousand times out of a thousand right now. I can't do it." @NaveenGRao @unconvAI(a16z)
