Matt has drawn our attention to a major advance in AI, under the heading above:

> Matt and I have battled over computers and AI. The following article by a philosopher of science fits my thoughts exactly. Watson will never know it won. Some common sense memory, yes, consciousness never!

I no longer view AI as a possibility based on the current architectural models that we currently use. If we have any hope of modeling the mind, we at a minimum need to be able to truly mimic its structure.-A rule in computer design: everything is faster in hardware. If the hardware doesn't match the problem domain, you're lost.-Thank you HP and your memristors.
