I found this interesting little piece by chance when exploring Karl
Schroeder's webpage (http://www.kschroeder.com/):
http://tersesystems.com/post/400060.jhtml
Some relevant thoughts to the thread about search engines and semantic
webs, as well as the problems with communicating with AI.
BTW, I like Karl Schroeders books, they have plenty of well thought out
ideas worth exploring. His somewhat pessimistic prognosis for intelligent
life in _Permanence_ is intriguing. And I think _Ventus_ is a wonderful
example of how to (not?) do terraforming.
