Cutting-Edge AI Projects?
Xeth writes "I'm a consultant with DARPA, and I'm working on an initiative to push the boundaries of neuromorphic computing (i.e. artificial intelligence). The project is designed to advance ideas all fronts, including measuring and understanding biological brains, creating AI systems, and investigating the fundamental nature of intelligence. I'm conducting a wide search of these fields, but I wanted to know if any in this community know of neat projects along those lines that I might overlook. Maybe you're working on a project like that and want to talk it up? No promises (seriously), but interesting work will be brought to the attention of the project manager I'm working with. If you want to start up a dialog, send me an email, and we'll see where it goes. I'll also be reading the comments for the story."
Yes, because countries never, ever violate their constitutions.
Well, except for the USA, of course. Ex post facto laws. The standing of the commerce clause on its very head. The 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 10th amendments all sundered to degrees varying from harsh to ridiculous. Authorized, enumerated powers extended into unauthorized powers stolen wholesale from the citizens and the states. Article V completely ignored in favor of outright power grabs.
Yes indeed, I'm quite sure we can count on a constitutional provision to keep a nation's leaders in check. After all, it's worked so well for us.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
