this link has more on IBM. Intels chip sound impressive to along Tilera's multicore chip

come on guy's this is news

it can mimic but can't work as human brain.

human brain is like quantum mechanics which is a tech that cannot be done and will not be done for long time

computers are too slow

also mimicking human brain won't do anything as conciosuness and brain intelligence are different

It's the beginning of something huge! :D

And so,the Matrix era has started.

Skynet

can't happen

Computers can't think

consciiousness and intelligence are different

Maybe not now but someday.

I reckon that it's possible, for sure

Meh, however closely it mimics the brain, it'll be many, many years (if it ever happens at all) before an AI can act human.
