Yes you're right. I meant it to hi-light the topic, not to play clips. Should have gone for another link, because it was so interesting. Much of the research on this project being carried out in three different locations in the United States.

I'm not in the UK either, so I can't watch them.

You know what 'thought' did.

You know what 'thought' did.

..no idea..... it drove people nuts or something?

lol. Probably.

But it's a British English term, with ancient origins. Given we like to talk in a codish language. And loads of double entendre.

Couldn't watch the video so I may try a British proxy later. Could the mind uploaded go insane? With out external stimulation or senses I think its posable.

I wouldn't want to do this. It would be like being trapped in a locked room and never being able to get out

Suppose you had a fleet of AI software apps with IQs of 150 (and eventually 500 or 5,000) to help you manage life. You download them like other apps, and they spread out into your phones and computers—and walls, clothes, office, car, luggage—traveling within the dense computer network of the near future that is laid in by the yard, like thin cloth, everywhere.

One could say we are trapped anyway. In these inefficient bodies of ours.

An absolutely fascinating subject. And one in which our present guesses will most certainly fall short of reality. When I was much younger, half a century ago, it was said there is no way to predict the future a hundred years from now. At present, that period has contracted to 30 years. Your AI apps will most likely be connected directly to our minds, and our individual IQ's will be unimaginable at present, to say nothing of our collective IQ.
