Have computers exceeded the human brain right now?

  1. n the late 1990s seems to be doubling every 12 months.

    Power/cost of 150 computers from 1900 to 1997, rising 1000x every 20, now 10, years
    Faster than end quote from:


    When will computer hardware match the human brain? by Hans ...
     
    If you look at the above graph the likely answer is "YES!" However, more isn't being 
    said about this because it would still upset a lot of people. However, this likely is
    only true of the most expensive computers, the Super computers. We also have 
    evidence of this in regard to IBM's supercomputer "Watson" beating all competitors 
    at Jeapordy, even competitors that beat out all other human  competition for years.
     
    So, at that point we have evidence that a supercomputer was smarter than Any human 
    willing to compete at Jeapordy on Earth. So, this should have been clue that not only
    was a supercomputer smarter than A Human but at least in regards to Jeapordy it was
    and is smarter than ANY human willing to compete at Jeapordy.
     
    Now, we have computers that drive cars, fly planes and drive boats 93% better (most of
    the time) than humans do. So, what does this mean?
     
    Basically, it means what we as humans choose it to mean. In other words let's not be 
    or become a victim to our creations. So, it means what we make it mean. Nothing else.
     
    Unless the human race is really stupid and allows themselves to be extincted by 
    what they have created.
     
    But, be forewarned. There are now computers thousands of times smarter than any 
    one human being in some fields. This needs to be known by as many people as 
    possible so we don't accidentally move towards extinction one day without
    realizing why.
