a brain is a fractal system of matter that grows and decays in response to external stimuli...

...like a plant

Until artificial computer systems are made of systems that grow and decay, they cannot achieve true AI. Only simulated AI. Which is not only much less efficient, but behaves differently as well.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21926154


Correct.

That's exactly what genetic algorithms do. They don't have to be implemented in organic matter or hardware.

Software works just fine.

Ray Kurzweil is working with Google on the next generation of AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Google is close, dear friends with the Obama regime.

Kurzweil is currently building a software system that will be able to not only think like a human brain, but be able to predict what other brains are thinking.

How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed
[link to www.theblaze.com]

In addition, he said that within 10 years, your "PC" will be the size of a single red blood cell and be 1 BILLION times more powerful.

Finally, the AI he's working on will have an interface similar to Apple's Siri, except that you won't need to ask it questions. It will anticipate your needs and questions before you ask.

When asked "When does this become Minority Report?", his response was "Everything is a trade-off".
Minority Report wasn't a trade-off. It was the world of being arrested and being put in a state of brain death for pre-crime, crimes that had not yet occured.


[link to www.theblaze.com]

This is Ray Kurzweil saying this. This is not sci-fi, vaporware, or sales talk.

Google is about to "wake up", and it will have all your Obamacare medical records, phone records, banking records, emails, OnStar records that are being collected by the NSA and stored in Utah...

Kurzweil is no doubt brilliant, but he's also a nutjob who longs for the "singularity", the point where human consciousness becomes one with computer tech. Guess what, Ray? AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. Yes, you were right to predict decades ago that eventually a computer would be powerful enough to beat all human chess players, but chess can be boiled down to pure mathematics. There is simply no way for any machine to mimic the astonishing intricacy and beautiful nonlinearity of the human mind. We are eternal, cosmic beings, Ray. Please wake the fuck up and figure that out, before you start trying to eat microchips and shit silicon.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28969583

 Quoting: Carshy McCarsh


No, the poster is right. The only way this computer could mildly pose a threat is if it developed consciousness. There is no way to be certain that the technology will be available for this to happen, for the conditions to be present. Even if this machine developed rudimentary consciousness it may only be as 'smart' as an amoeba for the first while, at best. There is no way to tell how similar or different from human consciousness that would be.

No matter how complex and capable Skynet may be of predicting what products we feel like buying based on doing a whole buncha math and number-crunching, it cant predict how we will react from moment to moment based on free will and emotion.

If the synthetic intellect were given access to any external manipulation capability, it could quite conceivably build something we could literally not understand which could result in our instantaneous extermination.
