FIRST: Is it possible to post images here?
My theory is that we are already beyond "AI", or we will be very soon.
I'm sure that the "brain in a dish" is old news to most of you, but did any of you stop and think about what if they grew them in enourmous sizes with massive sized arrays of electrodes and in massive arrays in grid topologies with other sophisticated components?
The facts are that they made: 1. Actual chips with live neurons in them, 2. an autonomous robot with rat neuron processor, 3. a art creating "computer", with rat neuron processor, 4. a brain in a dish that LEARNED how to fly an F22 flight simulator (in hurricane force winds), with rat neuron "processors". The latter they did over a year ago, and I cant find any news about what has come after that. While you may not see the significance as the results wernt that aastronomical by some standards, it's important to note that the "brains" learn, and we're getting good at manipulating them.
It's mostly a matter of perfecting the chemistry for optimal processing and lifespan, and perfecting communicating to better interface and teach the 'brains'.
Considering the countless programs by the NSF, DARPA, the entire national university and labratory system, and all of the other federal departments listed in "Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance" - alone; it's more than safe to say that the government has every intention to do this. If you know your stuff then you'll also know about the fact that the government is converging on all levels(departments, agencies, labratories, universities) to converge for convergenece. Every NIBC related discovery made at the countless labs and such nationwide get fed into the TeraGrid science database, which is right at DARPA's fingertips.

Who could argue that building these in greater sizes, with sophisticated arrays of them hooked to quantum processors or other more advanced "conventional" processing technologies, wouldnt equate to potential intelligence beyond imagination?
If properly done, this would bypass decades of hardware, and more importanly software development. Many experts say that for every hour of conventional hardware devolopment, it creates 24 hours of software development. Wouldnt Occams Razor here be to go this route? Not that theyd actually stop development on all of the conventional AI technologies, after all its all about knowing 'everything' and converging 'everything' correct?
I figure all they need to do is grow them in larger sizes with electrode arrays covering its entire surfaces using 3D MEA technology.
I think that they would actually do arrays of moderate sized brains, each specially trained for specific tasks all hooked into sophisticated 'conventional' processing equipment, ultimately to have them function as one. Use the true processing equipment(that binds them) to designate each, and adding new levels of processing intelligence that has its own advanced memory features.
Since UofM has sucessfully made quantum processors, and better ones will come, we'll just assume that quantum cpu's would be the heart and "soul" of each "computer".
