15/09/2011: this AI book (Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach) is good so far. hopefully it's all like this, not just ch1 ;) am thinking a test to help with archive project would be good. [1]
prob more of a parser than AI but maybe useful to learn some natural language processing & machine learning & automated reasoning #terms [2]
saw mention of using money as the 'reward' for the atoms/monads to learn. thinking of using music instead. like real life in that community [3]
music taste -> street cred -> popularity(?) of sorts. have to know history/share knowledge/durations of participation etc. [4]

the documentary can be downloaded at greylodge.org, and they describe the parts as :
[quote]
Part 1: Transhuman
Part 1 gives an overview of recent technological developments (biogenetics, artificial intelligence, robotics, implants, nanotechnology,…) and prognoses made by leading scientists about the impact of these developments in the near future.
Part 2: Preparing for the Singularity
In this part advocates and opponents of a transhuman future are weighed against each other; prognoses are done when we can expect the transhuman revolution and how people are preparing for it already now.
Part 3: The Metaphysics of Technology

Onion Robotics website contains a great deal of technical, creative and background information on robotics for hobbyists and even those more experienced. Some areas of the site also form a dictionary for some of the terms and concepts used in robotics, electronics, porgramming, Lego building and engineering.
