The positive side of having a supercomputer with the brain capacity of a cat is that you don’t have to clean a giant computer’s litterbox.

On the negative side, it’s just not emotionally satisfying to cuddle with a computer the way it is with a cat.

I just love scientists that say crap like “how simple a cat’s brain is” yet the machines they put together can’t even process a face as fast. And they’re massive in size and energy consumption compared to the cat brain, which also does a whole host of other functions while recognizing the face 83 times faster. The cat’s brain is also highly portable. Try building a cat brain from scratch and see how simple it is. It’s a hell of a lot more complicated than their machine.

Why would a cat be able to recognize a supercomputer?
