Philosophy of course would deserve a section to itself but we haven't got one of those, yes I checked and even if I am a brain in a vat then I am still going for it...

So dally over the consequences as i leap from jelly to keyboard to screen and onto yours with these words....and like Art said in another thread, for deep thought try a philosphy site.

Funny, information packed and thought provoking, try this site by David Chalmers :

A lot of information there. Too much to read and go through on a busy schedule. But I think he's either not familiar with or hasn't considered Internet Zombies. These are little programs that scan for computers connected to the internet to install themselves onto (a type of virus), then they call home and then they get instructions on when and how to attach a specific computer or number of computers.

These in themselves make an interesting study especially in comparison to AI, as they "live" in peoples computers and the Internet.
