Thank you, Sabutai! I've started-up a company myself with a small group of friends who are passionate about artificial intelligence. From one point it is essential to keep everything quite for investors, and I can totally understand the path Vicarious is taking. When we've started we decided to take a different approach and be open. I think it is essential to use a great source that is available to everyone - collective intelligence. I can totally appreciate the fact Numenta decided to go open source. We've been awfully quite ourselves, but for different reasons - we're still preparing our public campaign and organizing results of our research and the future roadmap. I was wondering, with limited number of companies that undertake a problem of intelligence - who else is out there (except the obvious - Google)?
