I dont think that this issue added more than we
already know. However, it might encourage companies
and common people to think about AI again and perhaps
get some funding. remember intelligenesis company in
New York? announcemnets of great expectations are not
the best way to attract funding on teh subject.
I liked the singularity concept :)
