New computer will mimic human brain — and I'm kinda scared

A lab in Australia is building a new supercomputer that will for the first time both physically resemble a human brain, and perform as many operations, about 228 trillion per second. It will be the biggest neuromorphic computer ever and the scary bit is how few operations this are. Yes, how few. Let me explain.

  1. nothing more than intellectual masturbation by people who do not stop to think of the ethics or the consequences of their actions

  2. Eventually, one will be built which goes beyond the limits of human bullshit, bullshits the bullshitters, and decides to push human evolution into a direction that it rightly deserves. That direction is likely not going to be the direction that most people think it is going to be, or in any direction that those catalyzing that evolution want it to be.

  3. Not only that I love this video so much, the comment section suddenly became a gold mine of ideas, lotsa amazing folks here that probably, probably… I will get the chance to meet some day. Thank you, Sabine!🥰

  4. We haven’t even figured out the brain or how it computes or stores info or interacts with the neurons. This is seriously precipitous just like quantum computing. Of course, quantum computing will never ever happen, but if I had to bet, I will bet on neuromorphic computing over quantum computing.
