THIS is some really creepy stuff, actually. "Brain in a Jar" flying a simulated plane with no "teaching" it. You gotta read it to "Get" it... It's really, REALLY creepy.

Cool I cant wait til they have brain processors for my PC :D

I'm not so sure that's a good idea. I don't need backtalk from my computer if I'm writing something and the "brain PC" disagrees with me. The last thing I need is a "relationship" with my PC like that.

Yeah, the last thing I need is for Windows to be controlled by something that changes it's mind 15.2 billion times for each process.

It already does that. ;)

That's kind of scarey. The last thing I want to face is a super brain. Science has come so far.

It's just like Terminator.

I wonder if my mouse brain CPU will be influenced by cheese?


I can see it now, the next generation of error messages will pertain mostly to cheese, bread crumbs, and little bits of food that fall off my computer desk,

I can see it now, living paintball markers and smart paintballs :eek:
