"Highly laborious process": I guess if the technology was available to preform this process, then automating it would be relatively easy. The materials that make up a human are cheap enough.
Edit: I read the article. So they are assuming in the future that they won't bother making a new human, but just load the brain state into a computer simulation, which would be even cheaper.
- mygo 9y agoComputers have yet to match many of the capabilities of the brain. Heck I have better image recognition when I’m drunk than all of Google’s image recognition nodes combined. Could a computer host a human mind to its full capacity?
- joering2 9y agoDid you forget that any technology publicly known and available is about 20 years old? Im sure they are systems that can recognize image faster and more accurate than humans but its sort of a “product” you wont find by googling.
- dfee 9y agoI did not know this. I assumed certain technology is more advanced in private industry or classified governmental programs, but I was unaware that my iPhone X is effectively a 1997 device.
- incompatible 9y agoYou can find research projects that haven't (yet) been commercialised. They exist only in prototype form that either isn't ready for mass production or isn't economically feasible. You see it all the time with things like memristors or the latest potential cure for cancer.
- dfee 9y agoSure, but integration of technologies is a technology itself. And, that too must then be 20 years old.
- scotth 9y agoSounds unlikely. Is there any evidence of this?
- dxw92297 9y agoWhile I agree there may be classified tech more advanced than commercial & available research systems, I think this generalization is, to put it politely, nonsense.
- dsl 9y agoThen enslave the mind to do work, to pay the hosting bills.
- incompatible 9y agoThey'd presumably already have any number of superior minds, able to be spun up in whatever quantity required.
