I will start this post by only saying OMG!
You have to go read it and then pause for a second and reflect on the importance of the moment… This is HUGE!
I’m sure Mr kurzweil must have a smile on his face 🙂

Could the TrueNorth chip become self aware? http://thescienceentrepreneur.com/2014/08/08/how-scared-should-we-be-about-ibms-new-truenorth-chip-is-it-self-aware-and-conscious/
Interesting, will have a look… Self awareness w ould be the ultimate test to pass… Exciting and scary at the same time.
