Seriously, this is a good example of Spock’s chess board in action.

Exponential growth in one area of technology can create a new area of exponential growth that can positively feedback on the parent technology and/or spawn new areas of exponential growth.

Really interesting. Its mind boggling to think what might come from a development such as this. The first thing that came to my mind was the possibility that the first greater than human AI might actually be built out of neurons. Seems kind of Frankensteinish though.

There’s all this talk about where computer technology goes as we reach the limits of what can happen on a silicon chip. 3-D chips? Quantum computing? Nano-crossbar computing?

“Rat brains” is a new one. If we go your 20-pound route, though, I think we’ll need to have a lot of cheese on hand to keep those serotonin levels where they belong.
