It makes "going to the moon" look like caveman technology. I hope to see it end with success within the period of my lifetime. This will be the ultimate answer for religious idiots talking about soul and God's creation and all those other bullshit. Although Markham tries to explain their goal in humble words (like a new PET scan machine), they will be creating consciousness, a real person, not just a software program. Wishing them all the good luck... I believe this is the craziest (in the good sense) project I’ve ever heard of. It makes “going to the moon” look like caveman technology.

I think there was a really interesting topic underneath the wall of sonic pain though. seriously– why the “music” torture test??

As someone who follows 'singularity projects', this has to be among the top 2 or 3 projects in the whole world.
