I would love to hear your thoughts on this:
It seems like no innovative startups are creating AI that can talk to you and do everyday tasks. There are some crowdfunded projects but they are still relatively simple.
Is it possible that true AI (similar to whats seen in the movie HER) will be delivered by Apple, Google, Wolfram and similar companies or do you believe it will come from startups? If the latter is likely, how can they finance it (crowd funding likely doesn’t provided the millions needed for a leap forward)?

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have used new deep-brain imaging techniques to link the activity of individual, genetically similar neurons to particular behaviors of freely moving mice. For the first time ever, scientists watched as one neuron was activated when a mouse searched for food while a nearly identical neuron next to it remained […]

It is important that the transhumanist movement establish a consensus on the meaning of life. Failure to do so will result in conflict, the extent of which is difficult to predict. As it stands today, transhumanism is a divided movement of various competing interests promoting values which are contradictory in nature. It seems the only agreement the movement has reached thus far is that the proper course of action is to promote the widespread adaptation of transhumanism.

Two months ago the Washington Post summarized the outcome of the recent Climate Change Conference held in the Peruvian capital in these words: “… the Lima Accord may nudge countries to do better on climate change (but won’t solve the problem)”. It looks like we might have to live with the health impacts of climate change for a while longer than hoped.

The fact that this even needs to be said demonstrates that there’s been a breakdown in the democratic process, but we’ll say it anyway: Our number one priority should be protecting the planet for future generations. That said, green energy makes sense even if we base our thinking on economic considerations alone.
