Cool stuff. Although I disagree with Ray Kurzweil that the singularity is near. We don't even understand human consciousness, we can't apply it to machine consciousness.

But anybody who says that artificial intelligence is impossible is going to look like a real idiot at some point in the future. We are beginning to understand the biological underpinnings of intelligence, and what we can figure out will increase with the more we know.

The best solution is to harness the power of evolution and try to evolve consciousness through intelligent programs.
