Computers are not currently able to look at a picture and
provide a word of what the picture is of. So a technique
that exploits humans desire to play games was used (uses
human computation since computer computation is currently
inadequate for the task) for the task of naming all the
images in google image search (what the actual image is of,
not just the file name).

That was excellent.

YouTube is somewhat similar to those games, in that it
became successful because of the video content, all of which
was provided by others for free. (Sold for like
$1,500,000,000 dollars to Google!)

Xltronic is probably worth that much.

This is great too and goes along well with the other:

So basically, it seems the first artificial intelligence
will be exactly like a human being because it will create
its entire knowledge base of axioms by reading the web which
is written by humans (or earlier having them programmed in
by humans). The AI has to know general common sense about
its environment and we humans and all our human affairs on
earth pretty much are its environment.
'the more knowledge you have the faster you can learn'...
Once it gets going its going to take off like how a
technological jet can fly faster than the speed of sound
wheras a biological cheetah can only run a small number of
miles per hour.
It'll just be a big collection of organized words maybe.. or
maybe real intelligence will emerge from that or some
technology in the future can base itself off this collection
like how later technology used the existing wiring of the
phone system.

The diamond within the square (it ends up right under the S
and the U) in your avatar is not centered properly, w M w.

That's because flash tweens and vector graphics don't
translate well to pixels on such a small scale I guess.
Tweens... as far as they're concerned the shortest distance
between two points is 8 revolutions around the sun while
doing pikes with half twists. But you can add shape guides
to help it be slightly less retarded. Also it insists you
use 'symbols' which each have their own animation time line.
But on the main time line you just see symbols, none of the
individual frames of the symbols, so can't manipulate stuff
to have it interact well at all.
Maybe if you use no symbols and just layers it can be
slightly less ass but it seems like everything I try runs
into a brick wall of pissing me off.
Maybe not; I have to play with it more. Some features can be
excellent like the tweens.
You pretty much need symbols to move some objects that are
animated in a particular way correctly, but if you do use
symbols you can't see and manipulate all the individual
frames of the symbols together at once.

Upon re-evaluation, it gives the little guy more character.
I stare at it and it's like I just want it to be my friend.
I'm not sure I would have this emotional response if it was
perfectly symmetrical.
