Hopefully a Republican brain. A democrat brain would be a BSOD.

Jesus H Christ. They won't be satisfied until we are replaced as an entire race, by machines.

I am here to tell you, the AntiChrist will be a computer.

Thanks for posting the ‘subscribe or log in’ business - I get so very, very tired of clicking links that turn out to be subscription-only sites - and not necessarily at FR.

Any chance of getting a chip that simulates a Trust Fund with lots of money in it?

I think of a computer that simulates the brain to be the equivalent of an airplane that flies by flapping its wings.

I am guessing that the Dr. Watson machine may have use a prototype to this chip.

The Forbes article talks about the massive improvement....of something prior.

A human brain can be analytical, creative, and innovative, and emotional.

When a computer gets to that point, we will have artificial intelligence. Right now, no computer is even close, and will never get there, since, no hardware and software combination can be emotional. Heck, they’re not even creative or innovative yet, and are pretty far from being so.

IBM Unveils Chip Simulating Brain Functions

So, this chip needs coffee to get it going, gets sluggish when its cache is full and makes irrational computations based on incomplete data?
