“Analog still is inherently more efficient because you, it's actually analogous computing is the way to think about it. Like, can I build a physical system that is similar to the quantity I'm trying to express or compute over? You're effectively using the physics of the underlying medium to do the computation.”

Rao: Deterministic digital silicon is ill-suited for stochastic neural networks
“A neural network is actually a stochastic machine, and so why are we using the substrate that is highly precise and deterministic? For something that's actually stochastic and distributed in nature.”
Rao: Unconventional AI can build analog circuits isomorphic to intelligence
“So we believe we can find the right isomorphism in electrical circuits that can subserve intelligence.”
Rao: Unconventional AI is building a substrate superior to matrix multiplication
“We are trying to build a better substrate than matrix multiply.”
Rao: The boundary between hardware and software is an arbitrary choice
“Software and hardware is, is not really a natural boundary. It's just where we decide to draw the line and say, okay, this is something I make configurable or I don't.”
