This description about the progress being made by Henry Markram and the team of neurologists working with him to build a digital copy of the human brain is fascinating. Can there be any question that digital intelligence will soon surpass human intelligence? Up until recently, this question was essentially a theoretically debate. Now it is becoming a debate about how best to approach the effort.
We are now living in extraordinary times, approaching a singularity of the evolutionary process that is now clearly visible on the horizon. We cannot accurately imagine what it will be like on the other side of this convergent event, but we can realize a cataclysmic shift is imminent. Some of us are frightened by the uncertainty. Others are intensely enthusiastic about about the prospects and are actively involved in making it happen. Most are clueless.
How does this information strike you?
