Tech News World : New Chip Startup Plays the Odds on Probability Processing

"Conventional processors rely on the sequential processing of zeroes and ones, an approach that may not be the most efficient for applications like search, fraud detection, spam filtering, financial modeling and genome sequence analysis, which require simultaneously considering several possibilities and deciding on the best answer. Lyric Semiconductor's chips are built around probability processing." ~ Richard Adhikari

This is a bit exciting in some ways, to me it means we are getting closer to being able to create a more intelligent robot. This is kinda scary when I think about it too. Will we have Skynet or Sonny?
