Memristor Minds, the Future of Artificial Intelligence

godlessgambler writes "Within the past couple of years, memristors have morphed from obscure jargon into one of the hottest properties in physics. They've not only been made, but their unique capabilities might revolutionize consumer electronics. More than that, though, along with completing the jigsaw of electronics, they might solve the puzzle of how nature makes that most delicate and powerful of computers — the brain."

Well, I see it like this : I'm right until I'm proven wrong. And I don't think I'll live to be proven wrong, so I claim as loud as I want that this strong AI thing is impossible. You'll have a tough time making any claims about science that would still hold true in a thousand years, mainly regarding what's impossible, so you might as well limit yourself to what seems impossible given the current and foreseeable state of knowledge. Given this you can also safely claim that time travel and teleportation are impossible, even if in a few centuries it turns out to be possible. I'm only trying to make people realise that strong AI is just as (im)possible as these and to stop acting like it's something they may live to see.
