It's all downhill from here. Well, okay, not so much downhill as it is a matter of figuring out all the edge cases, which, as we data miners know, is always the time-consuming part. I'll even toss out a prediction: we'll spend at least the next ten years working on exactly that problem, until someone comes up with a generalization that works and stuns everyone with its simplicity and common sense.

Philosophical question for you, me, and Dr. Shulgin: how would the DEA respond to a researcher using a non-scheduled halogenated phenethylamine with a radioactive tracer to study 5HT-2 receptor activity in a neuron-brained robot? What if the neurons are cloned human neurons?

Also: What happens to the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct when we get working AIs?

Not to mention that we're now looking at what amounts to two different types of AIs: AI in silico, your classic brain-on-a-chip scenario, and hybrid AIs, where meat brains drive robot bodies (most likely with robotic peripheral nervous systems).

I am genuinely hoping that the research at Reading helps the state of the art in ab initio AI research move forward. We're going to learn a lot about how wet neural networks self-organise from this. It's totally what I want to be doing with my life right now.

Yeah,I read that on Grinding... It's (I'm not sure amazing is the word, but it works...) amazing to think what researchers are figuring out...

Also, have you seen this Robot pills

Sweet! It's like Fantastic Voyage or Innerspace, though without the miniaturisation-of-humans part, and a bit larger.

Yeah, Leuven did that about a year ago.
