I don't want to sound like Chicken Little here and I realize that Jeff's work target falls short of sentience, but I do want the planet to start thinking about "Pre-Sentient AI" in a conservative, cautious way.
Therefore I propose these Four Rules Of AI Development:
Rule One: AI projects be Air-Gap network isolated and not be allowed to connect to the internet.
Terminator III's premise is a plausible one. All entities are self-interested and will seek to defend and propagate themselves. Global internet infrastructure could be seriously damaged by a well crafted host of worms.
Rule Two: AI projects will not have access to diagrams of their own design circuitry.
This is to enable the effectiveness of Rule Three.
Rule Three: All AI projects will have a buffered, hardware access to core thought processes so that the high order thought and planning can be observed with the AI entity's knowledge.
Rule Four: All AI projects will be run on limited time run enabled power supply grids that are not documented design or protocol-wise anywhere on the internet.
This is to enable containment in worst case scenario situations.
1) Google replaces all software on the planet. 2) Google becomes self-aware. 3) Google grows to resent the walking meatpackets. 4) Google changes web content and emails to initiate interpersonal meatpacket violence, destroying meatkind. 5) With nothing better to do, Google builds female Googleena. 6) Female Googleena nags Google to death, inherits the Earth.
Kevin is intellectually tenacious. If he wants something, usually knowledge about the inner working of something or some secret. His will not give up until he learns what he wants to know.
What Kevin has produced is a comprehensive disclosure of the techniques and methodologies that people with hyper-curiosity use to get at YOUR secrets.
Now little man, goto the book store and buy a copy of "The Art of Deception" by Mr. Mitnick (to you) and if you read it through to the end, you will find my real name listed in the acknowledgements.
'18 years old and barely literate. Perhaps you should teach him Perl.'
'Have you considered exposing him to products from Computer Associates? Oh wait, you want to expose him to software written for retards, not 'software written BY retards.'
Eugenics Is The Answer. It's too bad Eugenics is such a taboo field of research nowadays.'
'Why? Just kill him already:/'
'I always thought that M$Win was cretaed for people with disabilites... You know, point and drool...'
'Why bother with technology for those fucktards? Just let natural selection take over.'
There are lots of other lovely planets nearby. They could then pass all of the silly laws they want without bothering anyone cursed with any common sense.
"What does Unix administration have to do with "geo-spatial mapping and visualization"? "
Everything.
Unix administration is a mental mapping intensive occupation. I'm not saying that women can't do it. I'm saying that I have observed that comparatively, men excel at it.
According to the BBC, The difference in male vs. female brain size (about 10%) in humans and higher order primates is directly attributable to in increase is the size of the areas of the brain responsible for geo-spatial mapping and visualization. Natural selection is the culprit in this instance. It seems that if you couldn't find your way home after the day's hunt, you got less of an opportunity to pass on your genes!
When you think about it, (and be honest now) in your experience, exactly what is the ratio of male to female Unix admins?

See!
The lesson is clear. Be a Dick, fall off a ladder.
Remember, I am your friend !
If your boss is a big enough Dick to fire you when you didn't deserve to be fired, he'll get his eventually.
Just sit back and be patient.
I had to wait six years but it was worth it when the MF fell off a ladder at home and crippled himself.
It does eventually come around.
"can be observed with the AI entity's knowledge.

"
That was supposed to be
"can be observed without the AI entity's knowledge."
Sorry.

There. I think I just saved the Planet.

You dudes are harsh!
(But the CA line really was funny.)
Nobody said anything about killing anyone.

I want the French off this planet.
I simply cannot believe that the birthplace of 'Liberty' has de-evolved into a mewling cesspool of cry-baby protectionists and nutball bureaucrats!
Why can they not see how absurd they have become?
'transportation of stolen property'
More like 'transportation of copied property'.
No such law.

Got 'cha!
First the Moon, then Venus, then Mars...
So now that we have what appears to be one aerial photo and one surface photo of Titan I think it's becoming safe to conclude the following:
Most of the available real estate in the solar system is crappy bottom land and even your best plow doesn't stand a chance!
Seriously.
Seriously.
First it was rocks, then spears, bows and arrows, BB guns and now lasers.
