Moving up the Singularity Date

Google side-steps AI rumours - ZDNet UK News: "''We are not scanning all those books to be read by people,' explained one of my hosts after my talk. 'We are scanning them to be read by an AI,'' Dyson wrote in a posting on Edge.org following a visit to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of John von Neumann's proposal for a digital computer."

Upon reading this my insightful comment was "Fuck".

Useful term, that.

Well, we've all been wondering what Google's been up to. So, either they have a pet infant AI or they're planning for one. I hope their policy of "Don't be evil" is holding up.

Paging Dr. Asimov. Paging Dr. Asimov. Dr. Asmiov to the AI delivery room STAT!
