Think about it, but don't post your thoughts !!

thoughts?
at least I'm speachless

that's right, military technology, courtesy of DARPA.

I heard this a few years back - something along the lines of rate of connection expansion compared with brain development.

Could be a virtual memory, though

I like the hidden layer in Shroomz' post
yet to compare a 2-state logic to the complexity of 'proteine encoding' is just missing the scale by a 3-figure exponent...

a model, not a 1 to 1 copy.

this explains why 80% of the net is porn..

ya, building on astroman's comment, it may be a simulation of a series of identical braincells (the machines of the network), but doesn't implement the different functions of the different parts of the brain. Of course, as we figure out more about brain functionality, more aspects may be simulated, but I think as far as I remember, there's still lots to be learned in terms of specific functionality of brain parts.

Also, I agree the net is still at most a virtual "memory", and still does not have consciousness, or any sort of "intelligence". And the study of intelligence is still early in its infancy, so we've yet to see any difinitive understanding of that also. Shows just how intelligent we are. lol. AI and cognitive science is an awesome field.

the plan is for that conciousness to come online in 2012. we are supposed to be all connected to it via wireless neural implant.

see the president's analyst

and zardoz

and of course, you know the matrix and DARPA

google is AI. ever noticed how well it corrects mistakes? when i reported a phishing scam to earthlink, the "live" chat was handled by a bot that interacted very well. i almost didn't catch on that it wasn't human....
