Transcendent man, page-2

Interesting @moneypig. Ray needs to get over his dad though.

Noam Chomsky dismisses Deep Blue/Watson. to paraphrase 'continue to be a waste of time unless
the study of such technology helps to develop better computers'

He continues, referring  to Alan Turing –The Turing Test /The imitation game – can computer's think?
Turing maintained "the question of whether machines can think is too meaningless to deserve discussion,
of course machine here means program"
Nevertheless Turing thought the test was an interesting project as it could
1. Be an incentive to construct better machines
2. We would change our concept of thinking*

This is why Brainchip is a game changer/paradigm shift which, because the machine is no longer a program it is the beginning of self-programming machines. *Brainchip does not change our concept of thinking, but it does change our concept of machine programming.

Hey Noam, with the Brainchip model, true machine translation, may be becoming a possibility.
