I am starting to get a (what I guess you could call mostly logic-based) AI system off the ground. The first thing I needed to do was create a serious environment that could host it. The necessary attributes of this environment are these: 1) It is fully web-based, and thus it is technically "on" the web, and accessible by everyone 2) It does not deal with any "modern web appy"-type meta-frameworks, and thus it is not, so-to-speak, "of" [what most of today's web developers would call] the web, and it therefore has no dependency issues to hold back its development 3) It is essentially a working Unix-like development environment, complete with a standard(ish) shell. If you use Chrome, you can find it at https://www.urdesk.net https://www.urdesk.net To go directly to the AI, just follow this link: https://www.urdesk.net/desk?intro=bertie https://www.urdesk.net/desk?intro=bertie As far as the issue of data vs. rules is concerned, I don't know what it would even mean for a system to be purely one or the other.
