Hmmm according to wikipedia, this puts the chip at the level of a bee's brain. Pretty scary stuff really.
Life, thus intelligence, is a game of incomplete information. The barriers being broken down right now by the academia of "true" AI are adressing just those problems, taking an indefenetly amount of information, selecting "important parts" and target those data sets towards more specialized constructs, ie neural nets.
Chess is a game of complete information and therefor it is a poor fit for what you are trying to do with ie. neural nets (intuitively at least).
The problem is that you are "shifting the goal posts", whenever a particular area/branch of AI has already been solved.

Abort (A), Retry (R) ?
It means exactly what I said. This chip has the equivalent complexity level of a bee's brain, and that's pretty scary because bees are already smart. What is your point?Yet what does that really mean? If you were to scrape off 2 millimeters of your cortex you'd be the dumbest chimp on the planet.
Just cause it is "bee size" doesnt mean it havent got the potential to be scary smart.

Id like to know whos buying them? Whats the business model? I sort of dont get it.
Intuition isnt a "thing", intuition is just logic that you havent put words to yet, rest assured at the bottom level intuition is just 1's and 0's.
Multiple chips can be used together. So what if someone were to build a supercomputer with a 1000 of these (if possible)? What if IBM releases an updated version of this architecture with more neurons on 14/16nm? What if, since it doesn't use much power, once the technology becomes available, they decide to stack tens or even hundreds of layers like 3D NAND?1 million neurons doesn't even come close to the 80+ billion neurons in an typical real human brain.
"Kurzweil" - Rhimes whith Churchill and his quote "The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself".
I think Ray is borderline something .. something not scientist.
Even neurotransmitters and brain cells in the end are justs 1:0. One neurotransmitter may influences dozens of other cells and how it affects one receptor may produce X reaction, but when exposed to a different receptor it produces a different Y reaction.
Sure we may not not obtain a completely perfect 1:1 overlap with a digital to analog conversion or vice versa. But we can get a very close overlap, and that overlap may be within a certain "percentile" such as 90% confidence, 99% confidence, 99.9% confidence, 99.99% confidence, etc with the limit of that confidence being 1.00. With the more of the human brain we learn about we can be sure we are getting much closer to how the brain really works. We may not know everything but we will certainly know a whole lot more.

There is a quote that according to the internet came from a mathematician Ian Stewart. "
“If our brains were simple enough for us to understand them, we'd be so simple that we couldn't.”
I have searched the forum, and there was no recent link, so I'll update this thread:Multiple chips can be used together . . .
EETimes said:LAKE WALES Fla.—IBM's brain-like supercomputer chips—dubbed its TrueNorth neurocomputer—have been installed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to explore new ways to ensure the cyber-security and the stewardship of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Sounding eerily like a prelude to Skynet "waking up" in charge of our nukes, IBM and LLNL assure us that its TrueNorth neurocomputer use with our "nation’s nuclear deterrent" does not mean being in charge of the launch codes, but rather being used for simulating the deterioration of our aging nuclear arsenal—currently the most difficult problem for supercomputers to solve worldwide.
Actually the spirit, who moves the feelings and the will are even on a higher level...The brain may be physical, but consciousness is higher-level than that. And if you don't believe in the meta-physical, then I feel sorry for you. You're missing out on a lot of life.
