A supercomputer capable of mimicking the human brain is set to be activated in 2024. The DeepSouth system, developed by researchers at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, uses spiking neural networks to efficiently emulate large networks of neurons, rivaling the rate of operations in the human brain. This groundbreaking technology aims to unlock the secrets of how our brains handle information with surprising efficiency.
I’m from the Deep South, so I can say this - the name scares me!
Same, im worried as soon as it hits the internet its gonna start playing the banjo music from Deliverance out of every speaker on the planet
Fun fact: the banjo’s closest relative is actually a Gambian instrument, as it was originally created and played by African slaves brought to the Caribbean and United States.
Yeah it sounds like if skynet wanted to really control how people fuck instead of kill everyone
Had to start with a low bar to be able to claim ‘capable of mimicking the human brain’ I guess.
“Deep south”? Seriously? Why not “the stay puft marshmallow man”? If you’re gonna tempt fate with your naming choice, might as well have a little fun with it…
Red Neck was still in use and HAL9000 too obvious
For anyone genuinely wondering why it’s called DeepSouth, instead of just making jokes about how people from the Southeastern United States are all illiterate bigots,
"The supercomputer is aptly named DeepSouth, paying homage to IBM’s TrueNorth system, which initiated efforts to build machines simulating large networks of spiking neurons, and Deep Blue, which was the first computer to become a world chess champion. The name is also a nod to its geographical location.
DeepSouth will be based at Western Sydney University and is a key contributor to the growth of the region as a high-tech hub."

Or you know, they’re just not from the USA.
I thought irst in Deep Thought from the Hitchhikers Guide.
So it’s going to be uneducated and racist?
Maybe it can replace Fled Cruz.
