And where will the "supervisor system" come from? IBM Watson? AIXI? Peter Voss' A2G2? Glacial OpenCog?

Vinge wrote in 1993: "The precipitating event will likely be unexpected -- perhaps even to the researchers involved. ("But all our previous models were catatonic! We were just tweaking some parameters....") If networking is widespread enough (into ubiquitous embedded systems), it may seem as if our artifacts as a whole had suddenly wakened."

The Dushka Russian AI did not even exist before December 2012. Now the most ingenious mind of the former Soviet Union have it. OK everyboy. Please go back to re-arranging the deck chairs.
