The First-Ever Supercomputer on a Human Brain's Scale

[staarker]

Researchers at Western Sydney University are spearheading the development of DeepSouth — the world's first supercomputer capable of simulating networks at a scale comparable to the human brain. Projected to launch next year, DeepSouth will be able to execute 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, rivaling the brain's estimated computational speed. The research aims to unravel the human brain's energy-efficient processing methods, potentially revolutionizing neuroscience and perhaps one day leading to the creation of a vastly more powerful artificial brain. Experts foresee DeepSouth as a game-changing tool for neuroscience and AI research. Various research projects are pursuing similar goals to DeepSouth, including efforts to craft "biological computers" powered by real brain cells. https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/ ... ins-scale/

I truly think that the way technology is advancing, we will see "Data" like androids like what they had in the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" within the next 20 years.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is old technology. Just like the internet was invented decades before the public ever knew about it. So, forget waiting 20 years, we probably have the technology to make "Data" like androids now.
