Interesting article. I especially like these two quotes from it (they're even from the same person ).

quote:
We're talking about a technology that could change our world in pretty fundamental ways -- in fact, in ways that are impossible to predict.


quote:
But them getting out and taking over, never in our imagination could this happen.

Do you really feel concerned? I am not sure what I think about this myself, and there are always going to be mischievous people out there threatening the whole thing, but I think that if we have one chance to ever beat cancer, for example, I want to see it happening.

I thought Dubya was an example of artificial life that hasn't quite been perfected.
