I meant to add my response here when you first posted this thread. It's coming up for me too. I read
your CERN thread, and am reminded...
Intuitively, I feel it's very advanced. It's probably here. The internet likely is its brain by now. LOL Not sure what's so useful about humans looking for big boobs and whatnot.
Anyway, shortly before this thread, I posted with a few comments:
Memristor minds: The future of artificial intelligence

Bearing in mind that civilian products/info come long after military apps, I thought it kind of interesting, e.g. data on magnetic waves, electrical current etc. Other posters have said that anything can be known about us, our memories, thoughts, any time from a surveillance point of view. However, it can backwash too IMO, like everyone's a spy. So, the data surges can be huge at present, maybe especially for sensitives, intuitives, but generally for anyone.
As for the animal, vegetable, mineral kinds of life forms, sure, why not? It's all programmable, with a bit of genetic splicing. Again, military apps are ahead of public release. The thing is, some of the life forms are sentient. What I sense about genetic-AI existence is tragedy, possibly because they cannot come out. There was a recent post on THEWATCHER's thread by James (Michael?) Casbolt about the soldier end of things.

There also may be interesting questions about binary code, or not.
