Google Building HAL???

from The Economist St. Lawrence of Google

"some people think they detect an even more grandiose design. Google is already working on a massive and global computing grid. Eventually, says Mr Saffo, they're trying to build the machine that will pass the Turing testin other words, an artificial intelligence that can pass as a human in written conversations. Wisely or not, Google wants to be a new sort of deus ex machina."

Everyone thought I was crazy, "It's all the liquor and steroids he takes", I knew it, I knew I was right. Now I can rub it in my grandma's face, tell her I was right about Google. Google must be taken down.
