But the brain appears to have massively more effective compute than even the largest AI systems. The chinchilla scaling laws suggest we need much larger systems.

I don't think the brain's prowess lies in more effective compute but rather in its more efficient algorithms.

IIRC mimicking brain sparsity allowed ANN to get 10x to 100x more performance. And that is just one aspect of brain algos. https://youtu.be/XoP3dnvj4P0
