  1. @GeorgeDvorsky I'm happy that you're making an issue out of that as well! Great opportunity in de-sensationalization.
  2. The IBM simulation is a cat-SCALE brain, not even NEAR a cat emulation. http://tinyurl.com/y8u465m
  3. @maverickwoman I was referring to J. Cascio.
  4. @maverickwoman I don't know about him. I didn't like his book. Of his recent ideas, criticizing SIAI has been the most complex/interesting.
  5. I tried modafinil for the first time today. It made me anxious and high-strung. Think I'll stick to espresso.
  6. He is just a journalist trying to be interesting, but he puts interestingness way above the facts. The facts can be discouraging and boring.
  7. I am so sad about the Gladwell. I am now realizing that his books are generating a lot of terrible memes everywhere. He doesn't mean to.
  8. RT @GOOD: .@mikeanissimov on superhuman intelligence and the technological singularity for his new GOOD column 'Singularity 101' http:// ...

  12. Why Artificial Intelligence goal structure matters... a lot: http://tinyurl.com/yjjozed
  13. @alexismadrigal -- I am quite surprised that you side with Gladwell over Pinker on social science. Gladwell's Blank Slate ideas are false.
  14. A long page of Singularity, life extension, and transhumanism-oriented quotes I put together: http://tinyurl.com/yg5tcxl
