This is a gripping little video. It's about 6 minutes long, but it really shook my world. It will probably shake yours, too. Since most people are completely unaware of it.

Click.

roll over you can sleep on the floor naked with your bag of cheetos

Yeh I watched that yesterday on albinoblacksheep.

It made me really uncomfortable.
So I decided to stop thinking about it.

Believe what you want, then. Whether or not it's factual.

Wow, good link. I learned some new things, and I consider myself rather erudite. But I doubt that supercomputers will exceed the cognitive capability of humans in the near future. That part was BS.

Yeah, the thing about computers was BS. Computers can only be as smart as their programmers! But the rest was kind of odd. Like the stuff about college and honors kids....

Sorry, but this is incorrect. Computers are as smart as their programs allow them to be, not their programmers.

Programs are written and compiled in binary code by HUMAN programmers. Each and every programming instruction is a product of the human intellect. I'm not completely opposed to the idea of super-human computers, but what about creative thinking and consicousness? If we do not fully understand these phenomena ourselves, what are the chances of reproducing them in computers? Virtually zero. And the time frame given in the video was unrealistic.

The thing that struck me was the bit about the number of babies born during the video - 60 for the US, 244 for China, 351 for India.  But it wasn't those figures that strcuk me, it was the thought of the infant mortality rates.  Of those 60 US babies, at most one might die before the age of 1, for China, 6, for India, 19.
