My ideas were queries more than anything, they will be addressed as time goes on as existing technology may be able to program a computer to perform thought as well as the organic brains we have.
If we intend to use existing technology to create a thinking computer it is probably impossible to simply program a computer with the contents of someone's mind and neural pathways. We would have to start from scratch and it would not be enough to simply program the computer to recognise objects and have preset thoughts, it must be able to make categories itself and apply this skill to different inputs. It must then be able to notice relevant patterns between the different categories and create the most basic a posteriori judgements. Effectively it must be able to program itself in the same way that we have to think about an idea before we learn it.

"It can compute anything a Turing machine can compute, and a Turing machine can compute a physical simulation of the universe. End of story."
You are the idiot unfortunately. 1s and 0s obey quantum physics, but the computer always reads them as 1s and 0s and if they come 0.00001 seconds too early or too late the computer registers them as though they were neither early or late. The brain is continuous and fluid in time and the intensity of the messages being sent. This can be modelled using a computer program, but like trying to predict the weather with a computer it won'y be 100% precise. Computer systems in the future also might be more effective if they worked in a similiar manner to an organic brain and we may find out that an upgrade to the 2d transistor-pulse binary system is needed in order to allow a computer to think.
Notice how I say we may this or that, never claiming that my speculations are anything but speculations. You are criticising my intelligence on the assumption that I said my ideas were fact. Next time remember I am of superior intelligence to you and that if you don't understand something it is because you don't understand something, it's ok, lots of people make this mistake, don't get angry either ,just endure the humiliation since you deserve it. Just remember to be subservient and inferior to people using "smrt speak" in the future.
