IBM makes microchip modelled after human brain. There's a lot of sciency crap in there that I honestly don't understand well, but one thing they mentioned in plain english is that they've demonstrated the ability to perform most tasks an ordinary computer can without individual programs for each, and have shown signs of learning on top of that.
Like all badass breakthroughs in science I don't really expect this to become commonplace for quite a while. But still, progress! |

Just remember, don't piss it off, don't mistreat it, don't give it too much work and definitely don't get to the point where you depend on it. Seriously, it's the kind of stuff you see in Terminator and The Matrix that really scares the crap out of me about the future. |

I don't see what the obsession is with creating something that does what we can already do without wasting resources. |

Then you're a little short sighted, alternative solutions contribute greatly to advancing both technologies as they are suddenly provided with competition and because some things may become possible on the new method that previously weren't Plus did you not even read the second sentence that should already have answered your question |

We still hold the power to create such a thing, so it can learn and think all it wants to, we've still got the BOMB XD |
