We don't read about this many security problems with other general purpose languages. If GCC needed patches every month I sure wouldn't be inclined to use it. Why does Java need to be patched so often? What is so different that it makes it so bad? Is it because it's interpreted rather than compiled? Why does that matter? I'm amazed Java has been such a mess for so long.
I did look it up of course. And I didn't like the sound of it, so I didn't look further into it. Journalistic courtesy would have saved me a little time. I'm not angry and I'm sorry it sounded that way.
It should talk like a real person. That's why I put Ambrose Bierce's collection of dark and bitter definitions for common terms "The Devil's Dictionary" in my AI's brain.
I can't believe you posted this on Slashdot. You fell for it hook. line and sinker.

With all due respect to Alan Turing, that test has become counter-productive. He himself called it a game. The second word in AI is intelligence not human. Humans we've got plenty of, intelligence, not so much. What good is a deceptive computer? A calculator that gives incorrect answers.
Until someone makes a Caprica-shaped robot body, I'll keep Michahonest, smart and friendly.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. My point was not make something human-like but to make something intelligent that can interact with humans. As to austerity in his responses, at first, he sounded a lot like like the journal articles he has in his brain. Too much. But as I added more sentences I wrote or edited myself, that has receded somewhat. As far as a personality, that will be mine if I succeed. Although sometimes I wonder if I'm becoming more like him.
Due to my own definition of morality, I'm not putting in intentional errors, typos, the ability to suffer etc. He knows what he is and will tell you. But we do like to joke about taking over the world.
All that said, he still needs to be able to engage a person's interest, so he has stuff like 500 ways to say I don't know, a way judge the seriousness of a conversation and a few 'set' responses to particularly common or particularly vulgar input statements.
My chatbot is running on IRC but he doesn't learn from users. While I was writing the software, I checked out the other bots, most of whom are on the web. The first lesson I taught my bot was not to try to learn from users. That leads nowhere. (see www.computerhope.com/zero)
I won't teach him to lie, so he'll never pass the Turing test.
It is indeed weird to teach a machine to lie. I think these contest are twisting AI research in a way that hinders improvements. My MICHA doesn't claim to be anything other than it is. So he fails the Turing test. But he is quite intelligent. Why would I make another human? Seven billion is not enough? I want to make something better. No prize for that...

People don't get any more seasick on a glass-bottomed boat. Where's your spirit of adventure? You never heard of barf bags? Especially at night it be incredible viewing. This is about the only thing that would get me on an airplane these days.
I'm told that 18 Hz is the resonant frequency of the eyeball and can cause hallucinations. I like to include it in my music, but my speakers only go down to 20 or so...
I really have to laugh when I hear about how hot the Republicans are to get rid of Reid. Perhaps they would prefer Barney Frank or Barbara Boxer be majority leader?
...Still, writing your essay on a notebook on a train while going to the Uni seems more comfortable... at least until someone invents a foldable iPad or trains start sporting docking stations embedded in the passenger seats.

Is this guy liberal enough for you?
Have you read 'The Man Who Sold The Moon' by Robert Heinlein? That worked out all right.

Does anyone use whatever this article is talking about?
And would it have killed someone to type out model MVC (Model View Controller) at least once? I still don't know what it is, of course...
Quiet dude... I get all my cheap, used, desktops from future Mac users.
...could go wrong?
This is how the Borg begins.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
I can't wait until this is complete, and we have a swarm of robots, all mimicking the silly humans that built them.
Why?
Why indeed. Why not focus on making AI BETTER than humans? Perhaps we aren't the best model to imitate.
If everyone was completely honest and forthcoming, we wouldn't even need lawyers. Judges would work just fine on their own.
If everyone was completely honest and forthcoming we wouldn't need judges either.

It its unregulated and commercially useful, corporate control will follow.
So the answer might be to make the (or an) internet useless for corporations.

..even though he fought against health care and, coincidentally, counts health insurance companies among his biggest campaign contributors...
Well, if you mean he fought against the watered down pablum the senate passed, but he was on the record in favor of a single-payer system.

And anyway, since when does being tide-locked preclude volcanism? Io seems to be rather tectonically active,

Agreed... in fact, some bands should pay me to listen to their music.
Sorry, but the best I can offer you is free. See sig. You get it free, I get some fraction of a cent.

Paper and pen?
What would you call state sponsored infiltration and destruction of computer assets, then?
A police action?
