   I thought the program communicated the material extremely well and I would definitely encourage others to watch it. I did feel it was a tad melodramatic but then again because the subject matter is so significant it could be in danger of be

   My 2 cents: "it's hard to be impressed by yet another strong AI like me" - I think the point is that it won't be like you but orders of magnitude smarter. "As I type this, billions of bacteria are actively trying to digest me. It's no big d

    I love it when PG riles the internet because he's normally right.

    I currently live in Edinburgh. Unfortunately I'm much too tired at the moment to attempt an elevator pitch on its behalf but I will say that I think a hacker would be very happy here. Hope that helps.

    Hubris is not arrogance and IMO the top googlers are not exhibiting either.

    I'm not convinced that there are fundamental differences between attitudes in the US and Europe or at least Britain. The industrial revolution began in Britain and was a time of immense innovation and entrepreneurism. Us Brits still point t

    The theory becomes is even more convincing if you realise and accept that it needn't just be humans that have to create sufficiently powerful computers. We could be part of a program running on some alien planet. Planet Earth, human beings

    I'm getting pretty board of chat about the supposed web 2.0 bubble. Instead of creating a new venture I might just bet against the 'Web 2.0 crash' materialising'. Any takers?
