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 mean in their defense they’re probably studying how to make a computer that can replicate a human brain’s neuron activity and not the historical terminology of a country on the other side of the planet.

        Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a great name, but I don’t think it was an act of gross arrogance, rather they simply didn’t realize the difference in cultural definition, which is completely understandable. Shit like that happens all the time, often producing comedic results.
