The standard definition of AI is that which we don't understand.

The best way to do research is to make a radical assumption and then assume it's true. For me, I use the assumption that object oriented programming is the way to go.

That lack of programmability is probably what ultimately will doom vi. It can't extend its domain.

I just don't like to lose what's in the window.

Given the incredible power of these new technologies, shouldn't we be asking how we can best coexist with them? And if our own extinction is a likely, or even possible, outcome of our technological development, shouldn't we proceed with great caution?

Well, limbo is not a good place to be.

I was surprised about vi going in, though, I didn't know it was in System V.
