Minsky was on PBS recently - a panel on the future of the internet, as I
recall. He now puts the Singularity - as far as real AI - at about 2073, to

That's scary! In '95 I got rear-ended - er, I mean my motorcycle got
rear-ended with me on it (you have to be clear about these things when
you're discussing San Francisco). I suppose that's clear enough. I have
yet to hear of people having sex with motorcycles - altho now I'm starting
to think maybe I shouldn't put the suggestion out there.
