    "A bunch of bright high school kids from Carl Hayden Highschool beat out MIT in a Marine Technology Center's Robotics competition."

    That's pretty cool, but not quite as cool as if a bunch of retarded high school kids had beat them instead.

  2. Artificial Intelligence for Robots - Source Code by Mentifex · · Score: 0, Troll

    Mind.Forth for Robots is free AI source code that high-schoolers may download, play around with, and possibly get a leg up on outdoing MIT and all the other minds-wide-shut adult AI enterprises. (There is an implicit contest involved here of who can keep the date-stamped robot AI Mind running the longest, as if for the Guiness Book of World Records.)

    The Theory of Cognitivity is the basis of the free source code for artificial intelligence. Any high-schooler interested in an AI or robotics career may start working on AI theory immediately.

    Dr. Ben Goertzel of the Novamente AI project has evaluated the AI theory offered here.

    ACM Sigplan Notices 33(12):25-31 "Mind.Forth: Thoughts on AI and Forth" was a 1998 evaluation by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

    ACM Sigplan Notices 39(12):11-16 "Forth and AI Revisited: BRAIN.FORTH" is a more recent (December 2004) follow-up by the ACM on the robot AI project.

    what is going on, Slashdot routinely spoon-feeds recycled Wired stories. It typically starts about 2 weeks after paper edition is out and continues for another 2 weeks or so. All the major Wired stories from the paper issue apear on /. spread evenly. They gots smarted now by not mentioning Wired in the text blurb and linking other sources in.
