If IBM can make this good enough a race will spark to make better and better synapse chips, and most personal computer things are going carry them in 5 years.

I’ve long thought Von Neumann’s architecture could be very modified and played around with different components.

It would be no surprize to see ibm win he race to build human-machine intelligence which is really underway and will dictate which group dominates the future

Brain and Mind are different things. IBM is developing brain-chips not mind-chips; they may process information like a brain, but that doesn’t mean that they will think like a human, it will need sophisticated apps to do that. A long way to go…

I agree, but lets not be naive. The research is funded by the military. One day these chips may be used in cell phones or desktops. But i think they will be used first in drones with missiles attached to it, Whether we like it or not.

I agree. I think it must be one of our top priorities.

My point is what “they” want, is simply too risky. Whoever “they” are is irrelevant. The point remains that we have a responsibility to make the most appropriate decision as a human race before it is too late. This is a serious issue which needs to become a global hot topic soon!

Where do they get their funding from? DARPA?…doesnt that say enough? They dont want a soldier with a chip in his brain, they want a robot with human like decision making capabilities.

Game Theory 101. What are the possible outcomes of technological singularity you ask?
i) Hostile computer takeover;
ii) Friendly computer takeover; and
iii) Humans merge with technology entirely so it’s not a cliche of “it’s humans vs machines” to begin with.

i) and ii) are simply too risky. That leaves us with iii).

We need to figure out a way to merge and integrate ourselves with technology before it may be too late.
