This and other recent work with deep learning raises a substantial question: how much of intelligence is simply raw processing power? Many of the ideas and algorithms used in these recent advances have been around for a while, but they are taking advantage of much more processing power than they would have had available 10 or 20 years ago. This suggests that we may have most of the ingredients for intelligence and can't implement it or can't recognize it due to processing limitations.
