Could be coming to real life near you! Let the technocratic fappage begin.

Artificial intelligence has long been the overarching vision of computing, always the goal but never within reach. But using memristors from HP and steady funding from DARPA, computer scientists at Boston University are on a quest to build the electronic analog to a human brain. The software they are developing – called MoNETA for Modular Neural Exploring Traveling Agent – should be able to function more like a mammalian brain than a conventional computer. At least, that’s what they’re claiming in a new feature in IEEE Spectrum (http://spectrum.ieee.org/robotics/artificial-intelligence/moneta-a-mind-made-from-memristors/).
I haven't gotten to it yet, but the Sprectrum article is way more in depth. If this is true, this is really amazing. I'm usually very skeptical of science articles on the web, but I can't help feel like something different going on here. I mean it's fucking DARPA. Those guys, along with Al Gore's help, of course, actually invented the internet!
