What we spend our time on is probably the most important decision we make.
Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.
All of our schools need to bring 'learn from doing' into the mainstream education, not just afternoon.
We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.
Although I'm not prepared to move up my prediction of a computer passing the Turing test by 2029, the progress that has been achieved in systems like Watson should give anyone substantial confidence that the advent of Turing-level AI is close at hand. If one were to create a version of Watson that was optimized for the Turing test, it would probably come pretty close.
The key issue as to whether or not a non-biological entity deserves rights really comes down to whether or not it's conscious. . . . Does it have feelings?

Every life is its own excuse for being, and to deny or refute the untrue things that are said of you is an error in judgment. All wrong recoils upon the doer, and the person who makes wrong statements about others is themselves to be pitied, not the person they vilify. It is better to be lied about than to lie. At the last no one can harm us but ourselves.
There are two kinds of comments that I get. One is, oh, you're such a natural up there, and the other one is, you're working hard up there.

It's a huge investment of my psycho-emotional energy to pull that off and to make it look smooth.
