Spike, you're not in my kill file.
Yes, distributed computing advances the Singularity. I think the people
at singularity.org have a bunch of old Pentiums networked together. I'm
not sure an ExI network would help, unless there was new software coming
out as a result. I don't know of anyone here who's working on
AI/neural-net stuff that runs distributed, someone who could benefit directly.
