  • @isamelbou you may want to google "IBM Researchers Go Way Beyond AI With Cat-Like Cognitive Computing"

  • im of the idea intelligence is an emergent property in complex systems; can a lone neuron develop intelligence?; can a lone ant build a colony?; there is an interplay between a myriad of units and the way they organize themselves; but i wager understanding all intricacies of the brain isnt even needed; they just need to come up with the right ideas to get the ball rolling, then build a sufficiently complex system capable of improving itself; can a lone man build a civilization?

see all

  • Imagine what the iPhone 6 will be like when it comes out in 2015

  • Ray is a fascinating luminary. If even half his projections turn out to be accurate, they'll have fundamentally transformed our species and our destiny.

    We're entering a New World, one with unparalleled opportunities and transformations more significant than the Industrial or Information Revolutions.

  • what about this; Seth lloyd calculated the amount of bits the universe contains. Ray predicted the amount of computer processing needed to simulate the entire universe will be possible within 300 years. So within this simulation life would also evolve into intelligent beings like us. But would they know they are just a part of a simulation? For all i know our entire universe could be a bug! This could mean that everything that is happening at this very moment is just simulated. Mindboggling!

  • What did he said about the Cambrian explosion? By the way, what happened in the Cambrian explosion?
