Artificial brain '10 years away'

The title of this should read " Artifical brain 10 years ago" Who is anyone kidding? They have had the technology to do this for awhile now. Seriously who are you trying to fool?? LOL

Well theres an underlying truth that we quite frankly do not understand (and perhaps never will) the brain in its entireity. We dont get conciousness existance and our "soul" or whatever term you want to use that describes us. However an accurate model would be good for medical research.

dream long long. even now we still do not fully understand how our brain work.

as the article says a "rat brain" or "mammalian brain". I was going to say a lot longer than 10 years. But for simple animal brains - maybe. Higher animals... not a chance.

I don't know the good thing is we can help people, the bad news is theres nothing stopping research on other bad things going ahead once this piece of technology is created. next thing you know, they're going to be making androids of those we care about or even offer us humans the opportunity to becoming a cyborg and live forever....kind of, ha, ha, ha. But it would suck to go through a metal detection device. Or better yet, it would suck to be in a lighting storm or in a magnetic field device. Anyways, if we make androids that are able to produce life then god will be forgotten until they sho... [More]

I want my Cylon babe, so I'm looking forward to artificial intelligence. Well, she will be smarter than waiting for you ... so you screwed..

Didnt they see that episode of Futurama when the brains take over the world and the only one to stop them is Fry? Not a good idea...lol

It's getting closer.. http://bluebrain.epfl.ch/    Blue Brain Team Selected to Participate in Argonne Early Science Programme The Blue Brain Project's High Performance Computing Team (HPC) has been selected by the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) to participate in the 2-year Theta Early Science Program. This program will target the porting and optimization at large scale of our CoreNeuron scientific application on ALCF next leadership-class supercomputer prototype, Theta. This opportunity will allow the HPC team developers to collaborate with Intel, Cray and ALCF HPC specialists... [More]

This 2-year Theta Early Science program they are referring to... does this have anything to do with Scientology... and their probable attempts to build brains house the consciousness.. spirits of the Thetans?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thetan        

What this adds up to is that when these sort of androids and artificial people hit the market the class division is gonna skyrocket like never before. In fact, I can envision a future where ultra-intelligent artificial soldiers kill everyone except a limited circle of chosen people who will live in a post-genocide world of servant androids and perfect serenity with a wealth that far surpasses all practicality for such a small group of people. I can see this becoming a reality. It's a bummer I'm not in that group of people because getting snuffed by an android sounds really damn sucky.
