    “Can we have it look at a picture? Can we have it listen to a piece of music? Can we have it show emotion? Can we have it get sick?” he says. “When you impose damage or disease, how does the virtual brain recover from a stroke? How does it deal with Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease?”

  • Portland’s Non-Profit Incubator Future
  • The Grand Unified Theory of Exponentially Sensing Beings
    • ]]>     Wonderfully exciting presentation of the way in which our future is really going to change. If this video thrills you, you are aligned with the general values of NINE, that putting the brakes on is not a viable response to our new era.

    Ok, the one bit that catches me as being potentially spun is the very last line about illegal downloads (can that stat even be justifiably estimated anyway?).

    Thanks Garth

  • Claude Shannon

    • ]]>     That’s right. Using DNA from his grave collected by nanobots, then adding all the information extracted by AI from my memories and those of other people who remember him. Plus all the mementos of his life that I’ve kept, in boxes and elsewhere, could be downloaded. He could be an avatar, or a robot or in some other form.

    Cursory yet quirky interview with futurist Ray Kurzweil.
