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: LAZY_TITLE
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.
