Skynet will become self aware

I always thought that the terminator from the terminator movie was only fictional. Now going through the present technological advances I feel there is going to be a real terminator very soon where we won’t be needing Arnie. Scientists in Europe have managed to fuse brain cells with computer chips.
The line between living organisms and machines has just become a whole lot blurrier. European researchers have developed “neuro-chips” in which living brain cells and silicon circuits are coupled together.
The achievement could one day enable the creation of sophisticated neural prostheses to treat neurological disorders or the development of organic computers that crunch numbers using living neurons.
To create the neuro-chip, researchers squeezed more than 16,000 electronic transistors and hundreds of capacitors onto a silicon chip just 1 millimeter square in size.
They used special proteins found in the brain to glue brain cells, called neurons, onto the chip. However, the proteins acted as more than just a simple adhesive.
“They also provided the link between ionic channels of the neurons and semiconductor material in a way that neural electrical signals could be passed to the silicon chip,” said study team member Stefano Vassanelli from the University of Padua in Italy.
The proteins allowed the neuro-chip’s electronic components and its living cells to communicate with each other. Electrical signals from neurons were recorded using the chip’s transistors, while the chip’s capacitors were used to stimulate the neurons.
It could still be decades before the technology is advanced enough to treat neurological disorders or create living computers, the researchers say, but in the nearer term, the chips could provide an advanced method of screening drugs for the pharmaceutical industry.
“Pharmaceutical companies could use the chip to test the effect of drugs on neurons, to quickly discover promising avenues of research,” Vassanelli said.
The researchers are now working on ways to avoid damaging the neurons during stimulation. The team is also exploring the possibility of using a neuron’s genetic instructions to control the neuro-chip.hasta la vista baby

Yeaa, and i would send 50 apolcalypse tanks and 10 kirov airship to destroy ur construction yard.

Imagine T-1000. scares me...

imagine cyborg she... wow

So where's the software?
By the way hor....if any desperate guys want to experience Futuresex with T-1000/cyborg sex....they can all get a glass filled with mercury and start having sex with the glass.

. All u need is to destroy their Super Reactor then they no power liao, all defenses down. Hahahah. -

pleeeease.. articifical intelligence of modern day is still too primitive to achieve conscious and self aware. what we have are just mimicks of intelligence as what alan turing has described; it is all in the perception.

I wouldn't mind a chip in my head; if it would give me photographic memory and enchance my cognitive process.

Need the mecha tengu for air support.Now for the new C&C need anti air units, if not sure GG.

I usually bring Chopper VX and Rocket Angels.

So far, i prefer the Soviet Apocalypse tank, I love the ability in which, it draws the mech and the building to the tank, then crushed it. Wahahah. Plus iron curtain. Woooo. Unstoppable.Hmm, i like and dont like the new feature, where need to send a mixed force, like with diff units.
