In the early days of the Google Brain project,
00:00:03.611 --> 00:00:05.007
I gave the team a very simple instruction,
00:00:05.743 --> 00:00:08.702
which was, "Build the biggest neural network possible,
00:00:08.746 --> 00:00:11.001
like 1,000 computers."
00:00:11.096 --> 00:00:15.057
A neural net is something very close to a simulation of how the brain works.
