"The European governments are laughing as Greece falls over the edge."
Not really:
The fair with European leaders is that if Greece needs to do something like leaving the Euro or something else drastic this could pave the way for other countries like Spain, Italy and Ireland. Supposedly this could harm the Euro.
Rationally I would think if Greece leaves the Euro this would be good for the Euro and for Greece. But markets like stock, currency or gold market really aren't rational.
The problem is that if Italy would leave the Euro, supposedly this would be bad because it's economy is much larger.
Super-intelligent general-AI is still far away.
I would fear human-level intelligent general-AI with stupid goals more.

"Matrix style learning is a lot more difficult, because it has to be integrated in what the person already knows."
This is exactly why I worded it that way.
Actually found a talk by the people working on this project, here he talks about where/how to get data:
One thing I wonder about is: will machine learning systems being to transmit their experiences over the Internet to have other machine learning systems learn from that.
They can't now, but how long will until they can ?
An other is: can they take snapshots of what one system learned and transmit that to an other ?
You remember how they learned new skills in the Matrix ?
BASIC is the Computer Science equivalent of `Scientific Creationism'.
