[agi] the uncomputable

2008-06-16 Thread Abram Demski

Brain modeling certainly does seem to be in the news lately. Checking out nextbigfuture.com, I was reading about that petaflop computer Roadrunner and articles about it say that they are or will soon be emulating the entire visual cortex -- a billion neurons. I'm sure I'm not the only one
