Yeah, i don't think it's all that simple. I think this came up on the AI page, but AI is not "right around the corner", cause frankly, we don't really even know what is going on.

It is undeniable that something (a thought) pre exists language, but what is it? how is it expressed? Visually? then the blind could not have it. understanding what thoughts even are, will vastly improve our ability to make artificial brains. Then you have to deal with memory, and how memory chunks, and how chunks inform thought, and and and.

until then, we have giant calculators, but they don't "think", nor do they actually "learn", they just detect patterns. Though, if the guy on "The Code" is right, all the entire universe is, is patterns waiting to be detected.... which then means the universe might be alive and thinking, or we just might be an illusion of our own creation. fuck.

I liked life better when i was not so well informed, and i thought Bon Jovi was important cause his hair was good.
