 Hi, I am a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, and I think we should pursue a biological brain that we can train.

When will we ever get silicon-based artificial intelligence when the computer is not even capable of recognizing its surroundings and adapt to it --- key feature of consciousness.

If the computer were truly intelligent all we would have to say to it was "Serve humans. Multiply and reproduce".

Instead of computer based intelligence, what would happen if we chased biological intelligence. I read yesterday that the brain evolved 700 million years ago, and the same brain from a mother brain is present in all living things.

Why can't we get a brain capable of doing intelligence and curing all diseases on this planet by assimilating all the books written so far and simulating people.

Thanks,

 That picture looks like a cry for help.

 my third thought on reading this was: "What would happen if we dissolved lsd in the rat cells"

 In the link they said that the sensory input from the robot is fed back into the brain cells. How the brain cells would know how to make any sense of that is something I don't know. Art is a pretty abstract concept for a mass of rat brain cells.

 As a rat and an artist, I find this post offensive.

Feedback is for sissies. Some day the whole world will be controlled by rat brain cells (or, even better, brain rat cells) in the U.S.A.

 one of the Ga Tech guys came down to UF, where i study, to pitch this project and try to get a job here. it looked really fuckin neat, but the problem is that without sensory feedback, there is no learning. it's just a random group of neurons firing. out of chaos comes order, but only when you can get a working feedback loop going. this is nothing more than a curiosity at this point.
