As long as there is a good enough parser on the market, there will be plenty of people motivated enough to write compliant "programs" directly into it. I see this thing eventually taking a pretty good bite out of Wikipedia's market share. The way it'll work, for the forseeable future, I think, is that we will work heavily with corporate clients on what kinds of words and statements they would like their customers and employees to be directly executable. Trying to do everything for everyone all at once is simply a prescription for a major disaster. I see many clients supplying the dictionaries themselves. > Oooh, and when all of that works, make it able to accept commands. :) > "Make me a sandwich" > Funny, but I think we're gonna need alot of help from MIT's AI robotics department before that becomes anywhere close to feasible. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
