Exploring Biomimetic Intelligence and Mortal Computation

This chapter delves into the integration of naturalistic artificial intelligence by mimicking natural organisms' behavior and applying bionic engineering to solve real-world challenges. It contrasts the concepts of mortal computation with immortal software, discussing their relationship in computer science and their implications on energy efficiency in AI models like transformers. The conversation extends to the thermodynamic motivations for mortal computers and the potential benefits of in-memory computing for more efficient neural simulations.
