Oh I’m not basing that on the 10% mumbo jumbo, just that data capture usually over captures. Distilling it down to just the bare functional essence will result in a far smaller data set. Granted, as you noted, there are new neuron types still being discovered, so what to discard is the question.

Given the prevalence of intelligence in nature using vastly different neurons I’m not sure if you even need to have an exact emulation of the real thing to achieve the same result.

That’s capturing everything. Ultimately you need only a tiny fraction of that data to emulate the human brain.

Numenta is working on a brain model to create functional sections of the brain. Their approach is different though. They are trying to understand the components and how they work together and not just aggregating vast amounts of data.

You really don’t want to ignore an order from a judge. And blocking websites is trivial.

Governments don’t ask. They order. And it happens on a regular basis.
