Can anyone imagine it possible to develop a sort of engine based environment on a super computer taking in to account the laws of physics for the simulation of genetic regulatory systems, with software that has algorithms specially designed to measure all the developmental process variables we face in the biological world and perhaps with a genome life can be simulated starting from the first cell division and passed embryonic stages?

is this exaflop talk? or are we almost there?

Thanks for the post, doubleinfinity. Combine that with this:

Scientists have created a Robot Scientist which the researchers believe is the first machine to have independently discovered new scientific knowledge. The robot, called Adam, is a computer system that fully automates the scientific process. The work will be published tomorrow (03 April 2009) in the journal Science.

It's almost scary, this new era were entering. I'd like to hear some of imminst opinions on safety precaution and protocols that should be taken to make sure this technology doesn't get out of hand.

The Singularity Is Near

welcome to the world of brute force attacks on data mining with the added ability to perform physical experiments.

What this makes likely is a rapid increase in the development cycles of scientific discoveries due to the automation of simple time consuming brute force approaches to such fields as chemical synthesis and other fields in which trial and error play a significant role in discoveries. It will likely take five years before we will see this in regular use to run massively parallel batch processing experiments, but when we do, I'd predict a rapid fallout effect.

The next decade seems to promise massive change.

That it does, although not necessarily because of this particular case, which is a bit overhyped, IMHO. As Connor McLeod mentioned in the other thread on this paper, it's just a data mining approach that relies on large quantities of data. To characterize it as AI is somewhat misleading. The next decade will still blow your doors off, for various reasons.

Yes, but it is automated data mining with robots. set up in massively parallel mode, they can trial and error test many scientific processes automatically. could speed things up a lot.

it would be beneficial to make the query language preference based, otherwise the cliche comic observer creates universe could occur with a nonsentient observer. actually with the notion of combinatorial emergent properties some perceptually possible forms of observation change their environment. Rather than say "what is it", the query language should say, does it permit levitation, or I suppose among the brave describe why the universe permits levitation.

say, have any of you noticed the internet is very pleasant?
