• A reply on Talk: Dennis Hong: My seven species of robot

  Oct 9 2010: I think the book was far better, especially in convincing that robots needn't be scary but actually pseudo-emotional.

• A comment on Talk: Golan Levin on software (as) art

  Oct 5 2009: That was a good show of manipulating what sounded like pure sine waves in sound and visual, the result varying from 80's style robot bleeps and spaceship beeps, among all sorts of synthesized noise and imitations of wind and water, up to Chinese bells.
  
  I wonder if you can take this to a level where voices of traditional instruments (from the woodwinds or brass sections, for instance) can be synthesized convincingly, and how that would look like. I'm thinking jazz improvisations using your mouse.

  A reply on Talk: Karen Armstrong: Let's revive the Golden Rule

  Oct 5 2009: Having believed in any god, I wouldn't dream of saying, "no one is right." Of course my god is the true one, your god evolved from my god and his god is outright blasphemy. My belief is right, yours is wrong, but that shouldn't mean we couldn't tolerate each other, not to say get along together.

  A reply on Talk: Karen Armstrong: Let's revive the Golden Rule

  Sep 30 2009: This is of course important, and makes this whole thing very difficult, but that is exactly the point:
  No matter what god you believe in, where you're heading and how you intend to get there,
  all the while you should be aware of the fact that there are people around you, and you should pay their beliefs the respect you expect them to show for yours.
  And of course it's difficult, sometimes almost impossible. But I guess showing how difficult this can be is much less inspiring than talking in broad terms about global empathy.
