"the Skynet V0.1 self-organizing and self-learning Artificial Intelligence engine (joined work University of Szeged) with a very limited form of self-awareness."
WAT o_O For what it's worth, I just saw a *different* "Skynet" announced just yesterday: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Skynet-A-Scalable-Distributed-Service-Mesh-in-Go On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 11:14 AM, Gregory P.
