Cutting-Edge AI Projects? 346

Dont' be an idiot genius and smarts reside in unexpected places. I'm sure many slashdotters have come across some very smart people.

OK, when the fuck did Slashdot become the literature-reviewer of first resort for these assholes who are too goddamned lazy to do their own research.
Did he leave an address where we could mail the finished, typeset and bound product to present to his project manager as his own work?

But should I help out DARPA? I don't think so. Someone else can help you kill people, poison the environment, and support the growing neo-con empire.
Yeah, they can go to Hell and take their fucking internet with them.

In my day, we had to write the questions using cuneiform script on a damp clay tablet, pack it in an envelope of clay, and then deliver it personally to the priesthood.
