Species

The currently recognized species in this genus are:[3]

gollark: Maybe. Growth in computing power has slowed lately.
gollark: I think people have (obviously very roughly) estimated that you would need something like an exabyte of storage and exaflop of processing power to run a brain.
gollark: We have quantum computing to some extent now. It's not magic. It just does some operations faster.
gollark: I'm not very hopeful about brain uploading soon, since brains are very complex, poorly understood in some bits, and would be very computationally intensive to simulate.
gollark: A good design would have it periodically back up to some kind of persistent storage, but noooo...
