My point of concern is when individual machines (not the whole network) exceed individual brains in intelligence. They can't yet, but they will. Google already knows more than any human, and can retrieve the information faster, but it can't launch a singularity. When your computer can write and debug software faster and more accurately than you can, then you should worry. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=89960966-ec355b
