RE: Empirical data surrounding guards and firewalls.

["Yaakov Yehudi" <yakov () tehila gov il>]

 While you are quite correct that AI and the marvel which is the human
body are incomparable, that does not mean that a computer may not
satisfy a dictionary definition of sentience [requirements for such
being very simple and basic indeed].

having been/being a medical doctor for my sins (which must have been
many and varied) i thought i'd insert both feet in my mouth after
putting on my old pair of flameproof trousers and contribute to the
debate

sorry for continuing the slide off-topic

i'm constantly amused to see people comparing AI/tech with meat folk
don't seem to realise the awesome nature of the massively parallel
molecular (?quantum) computer sitting in their skulls/spines, or their
cat's skull/spine. 
One gram of brain tissue contains so many  discrete mechanisms that it
makes even modern CPU/GPUs look as though they are crude  **WHICH THEY
ARE**.
