Better get your bucket list ready.

A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years, a leading scientist has claimed.

Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, has already simulated elements of a rat brain.

He told the TED Global conference in Oxford that a synthetic human brain would be of particular use finding treatments for mental illnesses.

Around two billion people are thought to suffer some kind of brain impairment, he said.

"It is not impossible to build a human brain and we can do it in 10 years," he said.

"And if we do succeed, we will send a hologram to TED to talk."...

Can't wait for this thing to link up with Google and make Skynet.

Edit: Or better yet, someone post that video of the floating orb of death that some scientists made that just fires randomly.

Pssh that is in 2019. We'll all be dead by then anyway.

Or even better and build the Matrix!

My bucket has a leak on it. I shall fill it with sea water and let it piss about the circuitry of such digital pestilence once and for all and avoid drudgement day 2015.6.

that's not hard to do

eat, gnaw, reproduce
