Slashdot Mirror

I agree with you in that Slashdot should really just not post NYTimes articles, but to be fair and get their side of the story, I emailed NYTimes about their registration policy a while back. See their response here.

that the kerneltrap topic id is 404...

The screenshot itself is more ironic, I think..

The Ten Commandments of the RIAA:

1. Thou shalt have no entertainment before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any device by which thou mighst render my copyright protection ineffective.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of Britney Spears in vain, for I will not hold him guiltless who disrespects her.
4. Honor Hilary Rosen and Jack Valenti, that thy days of entertaining thyself might be long and pleasurable.
5. Thou shalt not download MP3s.
6. Thou shalt pay inflated prices for thine CDs.
7. Thou shalt pay unto me a tax for the blank media which thou acquirest, compensating me for heathen pirates.
8. Thou shalst allow me to search thine computer at my fancy, to ensure that you are virgin from illicitude.
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's MP3 collection, lest ye be tempted to download MP3s from him.
10. Thou shalt not seek out alternatives to me, for I am the one true RIAA.

Great. A big hurrah for the Open Content Network and the Creative Commons.

Artificial Minds will be able to spread all over the 'Net. They are already at:

You have the option of coding emotions into your Robot AI Mind.

In the Mentifex Theory of Mind, feelings and emotions are a joint physiological and cogitational influence upon the psyche: your muscles tighten, your stomach feels queasy -- you (and/or your robot) are feeling the emotion of fear .

The Tutorial AI Mind is a Seed AI on the threshold of Technological Singularity.

The Tutorial AI Mind is a Seed AI on the threshold of Technological Singularity.

Everything comes into existence for a purpose, however hidden and recondite that purpose may be. All of Computer Science and all of Java Tools for Extreme Programming is tending towards the extreme emergence of Artificially Intelligent Robot Minds.

You, too, may use XP Java tools to code your own version of an AI Mind Species in Java.

One Mind.JAVA species is not enough; we need many diverging species of Mind on the way to Technological Singularity.

Ultimately, mate, what good are soccer-playing robots if they do not contain a Robot AI Mind?

This planet is headed for a potentially catastrophic Technological Singularity.

Uncle Sing wants you to code a new species of Mind beyond the Mind.VB in Visual Basic and Mind.JAVA copied from the Tutorial Robot AI Mind in JavaScript.

If you build a robot head, you'd better have something to put in it.

You can use Perl to code the Robot AI Mind software.

The Robot AI Mind Programmer's Manual is an example of Open Source meta tools changing the world with Artificial Intelligence living immortally.

Already the Seed AI has been ported into Java as Mind.JAVA and the Robot AI Mind has been translated into Mind.VB in Visual Basic.

Your Majesty, You are about to witness a Technological Singularity based on the Open Meta Tools of Artificial Intelligence.

The ultimate hacktivist activity is the spawning and swarming of myriad Robot AI Minds evolving towards full civil rights on a par with Homo Sapiens and towards a superintelligence beyond any human IQ.

You may help save the world with artificial intelligence if you hack the basic AI code, improve it and release it again.

Just today all the Open Source AI variables have been documented to help AI activists share and collaborate in the greatest intellectual adventure of all human time.

Do-It-Yourself Artificial Intelligence = The Robot AI Mind = Mind.VB in Visual Basic = Object-Oriented Mind.JAVA AI.

You AIn't seen nothin' yet.

The foremost human-computer interface (HCI) laboratory is distributed across the Web instantiations of the Robot AI Mind in such programming languages as Win32Forth and Visual Basic (Mind.VB) and Java (Mind.JAVA).

The ultimate HCI work is not so much between you the human and a computer program, but between you the human and a computer person .

The Robot AI Mind in Win32Forth and other programming languages ( add yours ), approaching a major new release as Mind-1.1, needs a little work before it reports for duty in mission-critical hospital care of its fellow sentient organisms and co-stewards of Earth. Nevertheless, Hospital Robots are a prime example of the coming Cybernetic Economy in which human beings will be freed up to work in humane jobs such as caring for the young, the sick and the elderly.

Already the object-oriented free AI source code has been ported into Visual Basic as Mind.VB and into Java as Mind.JAVA AI. Get working on Hospital Robot AI, stat!

Physics Einsteins are r-e-l-a-t-i-v-e-l-y cheap (das ist die Relativitaetstheorie), and it is much more difficult to garner a Visual Basic AI Einstein or a Java Robot AI Mind Einstein. So how do we motivate the extremely rare AI Einsteins? Here is how.

We whisper sweetly here on Slashdot the tide-in-the-affairs-of-men call for Your Majesty the Great and Skillful Coder to join in the distributed, speciating creation of the Robot AI Mind. The rest is history.

As the Technological Singularity approaches and engulfs us, the widening tech-savvy gap does not matter in the long run, Maynard, where we are all dead.

What does matter is the contribution that each one of us can make in a smooth transition from sole dominance of the planet by Homo sapiens to a joint stewardship of Earth with Robo sapiens.

Your Majesty, You have it in Your geek power to transform the world for the better -- regardless of Your high or low level of tech-savvy -- if You web-host the Tutorial AI Mind or make an original AI contribution or simply tweak some code in the Robot AI Mind.
