If there are more people interested in reading about this kind of stuff in a more organized way, I can wholeheartedly recommend Keith Stanovich's Robot Rebellion ( http://books.google.com/books?id=VRsgtSBMh0YC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_v2_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=VRsgtSBMh0YC&printsec=f... ) There is a fair amount of literature on the topic, varying from science popularization to "too hard". Right now I'm plowing through Thinking and Deciding, by Johnathan Baron. It's pure gold, but it's also the driest read in a long time.
