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

The voice was gentle, like a scalpel petting the short hairs of your throat.

Pham Nuwen plunked himself down, stretching indolently.

The problem is not simply that the Singularity represents the passing of humankind from center stage, but that it contradicts our most deeply held notions of being.

I never guessed I could cry so hard my face hurt.

Once upon a time I was such a good liar; I could talk the fish right into my mouths.

Note that I am not proposing that AI research be ignored or less funded.
