The world's first supercomputer capable of simulating networks at the scale of the human brain has been announced by researchers at Western Sydney University.
There is this silly idea that SkyNet will turn sentient in one place, then take over the world. That’s fine for a movie, but IRL it’s more likely to work like nukes: once the idea is out there, people from multiple countries will develop their own at the same time.
There won’t be “one” SkyNet… there will be at least a dozen.
That’s also assuming true artificial intelligence isn’t just an emergent property of electrical grids, networks and computers. Like that thing where it seems like computers are listening, maybe they are.
So SkyNet is gonna have an Australian accent?
Crikey!!
