They're using petascale supercomputers to simulate lots and lots of their cognitive computing chips, totaling 65 billion simple neurons for one experiment, and then 530 billion in another. He's going to post the papers detailing machine learning experiments they did with the chip simulator.

I would hope to be mistaken in this perception.

When cables of any length and diameter can be cloned, then an asteroid, a carbonaceous chondrite, can be parked in geosynchronous orbit and the cable for a space elevator --- a "skyhook" --- can be lowered to the Earth. “A bit like building a skyscraper,” Zheng observes…or maybe a bit like growing a cable.
