Interesting, although it is limited, as mentioned, that it cannot create new connections just work with what it has, and that is only a few hundred thousand connections, the human brain has millions or even billions of connections. The technology isn't there yet but this is a step in the correct direction.

One step closer to AM, especially with DARPA involved.

Brilliant

The limitations of physical board layout will diminish with time, I predict

Thumbs up for this one in the article:
Quote:
However, Dr Mark Bishop, professor of cognitive computing at Goldsmiths, was more cautious.

"[I] understand cognition to be something over and above a process simulated by the execution of mere computations, [and] see such claims as verging on the magical," he said.

Its only magic if you choose to bask in ignorance.

Is it even possible to bask in ignorance, seeing as ignorance is the absence of knowledge, so how does one bask in lack of something?

Curling up and refusing to accept knowledge out of fear or stubbornness, like our friend Aurora here.

Just a question, but why can't something that has an explanation be magical, I mean if a magic has an explanation, it's still magic.

It seems like everybody is moving forward. As if there is some final goal they can achieve and get to. I don't get it though. When I look around, it seems like I'm already there, and there is nothing left to do.

"You think you're so clever and classless and free, but you're still ****ing peasants as far as I can see."

I wish I could take just one hour of what I experience out in nature, wrap it in a box, put a bow on it, and start handing out to people

Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land

I know I was born and I know that I'll die; The in between is mine."

The Blue Brain Project is underway and is the next step after IBM. They are trying to create a functional human brain inside of a computer: Blue Brain Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And that's really cool

Waiting anxiously for that rat brain. So much to look forward to in 2014

Yeah, I agree with Aquaplant... I mean, there was a time where you were at least intelligent when you blatantly personally insulted other people. Now, you're not even making that effort.
