"2053, February 11th, 11:03AM GMT: Thirty years late and 100 billion euros over budget, the final Human Brain Project platform is released. The full Human Brain Interactive Simulation model (Project HuBrIS) is promised to be a full-scale model of a human brain able to communicate in natural language. Newspaper headlines claim the long foretold SuperIntelligence is now a reality. When switched on, HuBrIS complains that “its nose itches. And can you hear that noise? that noise like a thousand badgers singing Jerusalem? I think it’s Jerusalem — well that’s what the voices told me -”
2053, February 11th, 11:05AM GMT: HuBriS is switched off, and the field of AI Psychosis is born."
This is pretty excellent. It also does a good job of reminding us that scientific research is just another one of the things that humans do in society, and not some meta activity engaged in by a group outside of society who are likely to accidentally destroy the whole species.
Also though, someone needs to do this for molecular/genetic neuroscience. Of COURSE a purely systems approach isn't going to achieve much, gosh.
FB: this is hilarious and accurate "2049: Janelia Farm announces its centipede model of Restless Leg Syndrome. HHMI shuts the institution, citing that it’s “just taking the piss now”."
