A nuch more tractable problem, with metaphysical stuff and grand rhetorical questions becoming more more ridiculous in the contest. The rest will follow as a matter of course, one step after another. Short-term, I am more interested in the emulation of the brain of fruitflies.

A nuch more tractable problem, with metaphysical stuff and grand rhetorical questions becoming more more ridiculous in the contest.

The rest will follow as a matter of course, one step after another.

It's called "hands". Our hands are taken for granted until they're not there. Consider this: the first room sized computers were accessed via rheostat dials, hand turned. Keyboards in many forms quickly followed. The biggest revolution, and one that still stands it's ground, is the mouse. Trackballs and touchpads are simply variations. Touch screens, either stylus or finger operated are the current darlings. My contention is before brain implants, we will achieve immersive heads-up displays, first spectacle based, then eye contacts. A super-collective AI already exists. That's called the internet. Neural input is going to be opt-in. There will be individuals whose physiology will reject implants. BCI has always existed. It’s called “hands”.

That will never happen simply because it is not sufficient to model a brain to have an reasonable agent. I put aside the dynamics of a brain. It is creating the astonishing level of technical difficulties, but it is not the principal problem. The principal problem is in the fact that a brain isolated from the surrounding and never have an information about causes in it delivered to the brain for processing.
