You can mass-produce hardware; you cannot mass-produce software - you cannot mass-produce the human mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We can make life in the computer. Granted, it's limited, but we have learned what it takes in order to actually construct it.
By being able to write a genome and plug it into an organism, the software, if you will, changes the hardware.
If we are machines, then in principle at least, we should be able to build machines out of other stuff, which are just as alive as we are.
Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.
In terms of the brain, you can in a crude way think of the human brain as a computer.
We can invent only with memory.
A human being is not a machine. Especially when it comes to creating.
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available.
If you know how to make software, then you can create big things.
