All his life he had lived by the law. Often his job had been to stop acts of revenge....And now revenge was all that life had left for him.

I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.

When people speak of creating superhumanly intelligent beings, they are usually imagining an AI project.

So much technology, so little talent.

Another symptom of progress toward the Singularity: ideas themselves should spread ever faster, and even the most radical will quickly become commonplace.

But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.

The physical extinction of the human race is one possibility.
