If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, Pinky -- forget the stupid humans. Once we rule the planet, they won't matter. Ooops - did I call you Pinky? Sorry, George. Hey, did you see where I put my extra shotgun shells?
I agree with the 'lots of work' part, but believe it is possible to achieve good results on wider domains outside of toy worlds. One key - from my own research - is to use (massive) databases of culture-related knowledge (belief systems) to build alternative viewpoints from which to massively parallel analyze the input. Each analysis agent has its own viewpoint or frame, driven by a very large database of world knowledge that is culture-specific. By culture I mean not just nationality but specific domains of belief systems. For example, American+middle class+scientist+age range 40-50, or white male Protestant businessman:) etc. Derrida was kind of right in a way; you have to bring specific personal knowledge to interpreting something, and no two people come to anything in exactly the same way. But two people with similar cultural bases will see similarly, all other things being equal.
The system has to handle complex contexts and multiple varying worldframes. It has to superimpose multiple viewpoints - alternate personnas - in interpreting the source. Also useful is applying certain theories of story to modeling the world.
Yes, it's non-trivial, but achievable. I can see a day coming where a Google-like entity can, by modeling you then acting as a 'cloned' agent, apply such personnas in your service and find not just data but meaning, for your benefit.
I've always wondered what it would feel like to have a worm-like creature up my ass.
1) Sadly, those were that last words of Billy-Bob Hinkley, of Fallen Springs, Alabama, one fateful night in April when he was drinking far too much Everclear when the aliens landed.
2) it's far better than a robot gerbil
3) this will NEVER replace the XBox 360 as a means of entertainment
4) the first experimental model was powered by an internal-combustion engine with a snorkel, but the Patent Office rejected the patent, as it was too obvious
Um, I just want to thank the guy who's following me around Slashdot and modding my posts 'troll'. It's much nicer than the police attention since my multiple child-abuse and spam convictions. Although I hope the cops don't find out about the girl buried in the slave pit in the woods. Have a nice day, and if you work for Microsoft, at least have a nice conscience-free day.
This could be a much cheaper way than jets spraying chemtrails 24/7, which is what the US military is doing. Or haven't people noticed? I've watched very high altitude jets flying a geometrically regular pattern over Central California over the Central Valley. I once drove down I-5 and watched the sky for the better part of the day. The sky was clear at dawn. Shortly thereafter, jets began spraying. No, these were not commercial airliner trails. LAX was to the south, and SFO to the north, and these were not going to or coming from these major 'ports. By noon, the trails had diffused widely over the sky, and it was uniformly gray. These trails tend to hang for hours - normal contrails do not. Friends tell me this is a regular occurrence. It's pretty clear the government is well aware of global warming and probably has combined military needs for radio-reflectivity in the atmosphere with the need to block solar radiation in the same missions. Of course, they aren't bothering to tell anybody about that they are spraying, and its possible effect on our lungs and agriculture.
And of course some rocket scientist in marketing will name the joint effort Googapple, or maybe Appoogle. God, I hate marketers. They're pond scum on the sea of life, to mix a metaphor, and badly.
I believe that torture, nay, gruesome inquisition! and Guantanamo is TOO GOOD for these despicable insurgents who tried to make information from HP public. Unless we can control the release of information - by any means possible! - we cannot sustain freedom and democracy! -- What? -- "It's only HP, you stupid bugger!" --- OH. OOOPS. Hey, Dick, don't shoot that reporter in the face! It's only HP! Geeze, clearing brush is so much simpler than this job.
What a great idea! When is the next Republican convention in New York, and this time, let's REALLY show those stinking liberal commie traitor demonstrators what Free Speech Zone means! It'll make great video for FOX as those loonies have their eyeballs seared with cataracts from the microwaves! Yee-haw.
Yeah, laugh about while you can, but it's going to happen. Oceanea is our friend; we have always been at war with Eastasia. Good news! Chocolate rations have been increased to 4 grams!
The only difference between today and Rome is that in Rome, the emperor named a horse as a senator. Now, we only have horse's asses.
Well, to get pedantic, I am fully aware what it means, AC, and it's called 'using absurdity as a joke while riffing off piracy as a theme when writing for people with Asperger's Syndrome or worse.' But thank you for the input. Why yes, there are 152 toothpicks on the floor, Rain Man.
I asked my Pirate Granny if she ever bought any patterns on eBay, and she said, "Well, bugger me timbers, matey, I had no idear it were illegal. Harrrrr." and then she swigged some rum that the parrot had crapped in when she wasn't looking, but she didn't notice; Granny really likes her rum. Then she asked "Who be these ESPC folk, and does they cornhole each other like me crew does ta our cabinboy, although he kind of likes it, but let's not go there." I allowed as they probably did, and they were definitely a scurvy lot.
Then she went back to embroidering a skull and crossbones flag for her ship, which is a trimaster named "The RIAA Sucks Ass Too" that sails the Caribbean looking for patterns and CDs to steal, and Disney videos to copy.
Granny may be an old boozy bag, but she's all right. But the ESPC sure isn't. Leave old women alone, you bastards.
You forgot mummies. I ALWAYS knew that mummies had to be powered by some mystical technology like nanotech. In tanna leaves. I'm sure you couldn't build pyramids without nanotechnology either. Yeah. Tut wasn't so dumb. After all, he built the Stargate. Or something. By the way, I failed History in high school. And Hygiene class.
Few people know that Isaac Asimov anonymously wrote an operating system but put Linus Torvald's name on it. Wait... wait.. where's my ritalin. I'm always getting mixed up without it.
Apparently only 1 in 8000 animals is truly the best.
I bet this explains the 1 in 8000 people who claims to have been kidnapped by a flying saucer, and then woken up with mysterious bruises and puncture marks. Somewhere in the universe there's a Z'anHa Oon Arby's advertising delicious Roast Sapien. And their shakes aren't bad either.
And sadly, sales of Microsoft Plunger Bob '95 went into the toilet until Microsoft re-invented it and re-released it as Windows Guaranteed Authentic Dump. But now my toilet won't accept a flush, and tells me my crap has been pirated.
Dell can't be behind the times. Why, it seems like only yesterday they announced: "Don't pour explosive liquids on your laptop while in flight, our batteries are bad enough as is. Praise be to Allah." Although I'm not sure what they meant.
I hope we can all reply to this once we're done with bigger tasks like figuring out how to stop ballooning deficits, inflation (and decline of the value of the American dollar), paid-off representatives, bombing and burning of unarmed children, civil war in Iraq, depleted uranium poisoning of our own troops, and of course, the menace of Windows.
Oh, and before travelling by air, don't forget to pour all your liquids together in the barrel provided at the airport, because we have to stop terrorists from mixing liquids together because that's bad and could blow up. Except in the barrel. Mission Accomplished!
I personally try to be at least as civil as any Fox news commentator, and even as good as Bill O'Reilly. How can one ask for more than that?

However, things will not be complete until someone develops a French head-butting robot.
The microcontroller in the prosthesis just has to be, of course, an ARM processor.

I always knew blogs were full of methane. -- What? -- Oh, you said 'bogs'. Um, but it's still a lot of stinky vapor.

What, you mean they had pedophiles selling resistors? Another failed management inspiration, I fear.

I assume it starts with exposure to Form 1040, then Schedules A, C, asset depreciation rules, and a lot of coffee. It's all downhill from there.
This explains the whining little voice I heard when I logged into AOL tonight: "You're got GOLD!"
I'd still buy a cheap Chinese robotic vagina though, even if parts fell off. Sometimes quality isn't everything.
Dell can't be behind the times. Why, it seems like only yesterday they announced: "Don't pour explosive liquids on your laptop while in flight, our batteries are bad enough as is. Praise be to Allah." Although I'm not sure what they meant.
Not to mention the International Terrorist Dairy Council: "Got Explosive?"
Leading to:

"Actually, Doctor, I believe it was a Terbilian Fighting Hamster." -- Spock.
