IBM announces advances toward a computer that works like a human brain

Researchers from IBM and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have performed a computer simulation that matches the scale and complexity of a cat's brain, and project members from IBM and Stanford have developed an algorithm for mapping the human brain at new levels of detail. Eventually, scientists hope that detailed knowledge will help them build a computer that replicates the more complex working of a human brain.

Great, now the mainframe will be MartialTalking and Facebooking instead of crunching those number while I'm MartialTalking and Facebooking!

With a peaceful name like Skynet, what could possibly go wrong?

It sleeps all the time, fritzes out when it hears a can opener, demands that you take care of it, and then ignores you? :lol:

Don't forget that it needs to be worshiped as a God and it's litterbox (recycling bin) needs to be changed out often...

Good one Carol...
