3-D chip endangers humanity

We do not diverge. We digress.

Talking about two fictional books written by Michael Crichton makes it clear that a 3-dimensiional chip will make possible an automaton that could become dangerous to the human race?

Could you detail this clarity you speak of.

Rog just wait til you’re 81 with incipient Alz's

Hi But

A 3-d chip the size of a brain will make possible an automaton with qualities superior to ours in every respect. They might banish us in much the same way we’re destroying the turtle and puma pops

BTW ... what, pray tell..is a 3-Dimensional chip?

A layered chip somewhat similar to stacked circuit boards. I believe it’s discussed in one of the links above

BTW, your link is broken.

Most, if not all, mega-chips these days ARE layered.

Sorry about that, it happens every once in a while for no apparent reason. Bear with me and I’ll cut and paste the pertinent post. I presume it was the link to UK

How interesting, I didn’t know that, but I had assumed layering could only be performed laboriously one at a time by external means, as discussed in the missing link (no pun)

Edited to remark that if it was UK, when I tried the link it worked just fine. However UK has a software glitch somewhat similar to the one in a?k where I often can’t scroll in an editing window, while the blue scrolling bar comes and goes

But in the case of UK what often happens is the window is interrupted in the middle leaving it all white from the title down. What you have to do is try a second time, or third. Usually it comes ok after a couple of tries

Hang loose. Oops, I’ve forgotten whom I’m addressing. There’s another a?k glitch: Oftentimes while editing I note that the message I’m replying to has disappeared from the bottom of the screen so I can’t reply to a specific q or para

Edited to remark that in fact, it did work this second time. But to save you the trouble, Not was describing the construction of a multi-layer board, to which I made this reply:


quote:
Not: This, I would be most interested in, for I am seeking help in construction/design of a 'multi-layer’PCB

Me: Notable! for some years ago I had proposed in a thread of some obscure forum website that very idea, interesting indeed, would be a great space saver tho I’m not just sure how much help I could provide since obviously you’re an expert in the field while I’m just an ancient former ham with incipient Alz’s

My idea for what it’s worth, which might not be very much, is a 3-dimensional construct in which the connections between layers are applied in much the same way as those on the layers themselves. I don’t know how it could be done but I am confident that’s the way it will eventually be done

..at which time watch out for the robots because they will have brains hundreds or thousands of times more capable than ours


So you get the thrust of my suggestion to Not. If as you imply it’s already done then thanks for so informing me but then the question arises why we can’t build a chip the size of a human brain

Happy to discuss any of this OT stuff by email, I am [email protected] and apparently don’t care who knows it
