two stories I just loved...
Finding more planets like earth will be commonplace in 2012, when Google and Nasa put up a space telescope that will be able to find hundreds, if not thousands of earthlike planets within it's first TWO YEARS! Not only are they earthlike but close... my favorite kind of planet...
Combining the top down and bottom up approach to AI has led to the smartest robot yet... They estimate it's as intelligent as a 2 to 3 year old.. The manl who makes it says you won't see one as smart as an adult human in our lifetime, while sources i trust more have made the guess of 5 to 12 years.... hmmm, care to bet on that one? you know he didn't think about technologies exponential growth...
Chew on those to stories, and i'll leave you with a quote.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
Arthur C. Clarke
