> 16 million neurons
What kind of brain does this equate to ? An insect ?
>>53770329
A frog.

Brown rat size.

Not bad. Nature has us beat on size, though.

Please make it happen.

Depends on what way you look at it, if you go by all the neurons in the brain it's about the size of a frog's brain like this anon said: >>53770371, but if you just go by the Cerebral cortex (the part of the brain actually used for thinking) it's equivalent to the low end of what a rat would have and with 10 of them put together you'd be at about what a dog would have.
Considering the chips used in this use a 28nm process, if I'm remembering correctly for the amount of times that they'd be able to double the amount of transistors they'd be able to put on a chip before they hit transistors that are the size of a single atom, they'd be able to eventually get one of these arrays to be about the same as the lower end of an adult human brain by that point (sorry singularityfags, it's not happening).
On a side note I wonder if I could get one of these and get it to solve these god awful inkblot captchas for me. Is anyone else having this problem right now?

When I get the inkblot LEGACY captchas I just take it as a sign that I've been posting too much
>>53771226
They went away, back to legacy street signs.

I noticed that when you get a double street sign captcha that often the most unreadable could be replaced with a junk word.
