      There was some snark and outrage on Twitter over this article, yet I found its core premise to be not ridiculous at all.

      Certainly a lot more than our standard understanding of computing happens in the brains of humans, and it can actually feed a feedback loop here: perhaps, if we understand the brain, we can make truly artificial intelligence.

        My brain is now changed by reading this intriguing and curious article. Ah so much for the better. I’d like to challenge the author to further articulate a metaphor he finds more apropos.

        Thanks for posting this! Best thing I've read in a while. Part of me is curious how on earth this article could spark outrage but for the sake of my own braincells I probably shouldn't bother investigating. I agree with the author's argument 100% and also love your comment about true AI being biologically derived.

      Stick with this read. Started off slow for me, personally, but around 50% and after it hits it’s stride. This article believes the uploading and downloading of consciousness is/will be impossible; however, based on all the sci-fi material being released with the concept and premise at center we would be a bit daft to completely write off the possibilities. Cautionary tales, imho, all of it.
