Company Claims Development of True AI
YF 19 AVF wrote to mention a press release on Yahoo from company GTX Global. They think they've got a good thing on their hands, going so far as to claim they've developed the first 'true' AI. From the release: "GTX Global Cognitive Robotics(TM) is an integrated software solution that mimics human behavior including a dialogue oriented knowledge database that contains static and dynamic data relating to human scenarios. The knowledge further includes translation, processing and analysis components that are responsible for processing of vocal and/or textual and/or video input, extracts emotional characteristics of the input and produces instructions on how to respond to the customer with the appropriate substantive response and emotion based on relevant information found in the knowledge base." Somehow I think there is a littler hyperbole here. In your estimation, how close are we to the real thing?
No, not really.
There's a general pattern:
MicroSoft hosting -- non-technical types
Linux types -- cheap, technical types, fashionable types who go with the herd
FreeBSD -- cheap, savvier technical types
OpenBSD -- paranoiacs, reliability freaks
NetBSD -- super geeks
Sun (other proprietary BSDs) -- technically demanding folks who have too much money
So if you look at who's running what, you get some idea of where they cluster. A bit like looking at someone's zipcode, SAT scores, etc. to figure out how much money they make.
I don't think it is "prejudiced" to do this -- unless you consider statistical inference prejudiced.

I have been working on a paper for publication little by little for a long while now. Most recently, I am calling it "The Homeostatic Homunculus".
Really, it's a modal for the fundamentals of mammalian brain function.
