Society should reduce working hours and share the workload so there is less unemployment. Work less hours, spend more time with your friends & family, follow creative and philosophical pursuits, and find hobbies you enjoy. After all, isn't technology supposed to make our lives better? http://artificial-intelligence...

According to a recent Oxford study, half of our jobs can be automated over the next couple decades: http://artificial-intelligence... Maybe the solution should be to reduce our working ours to share the remaining jobs and have more leisure time: http://artificial-intelligence...

A recent Oxford study shows that 702 jobs or close to half the current workforce can be automated over the next few decades: http://artificial-intelligence... A nice solution to keep human employment might be to reduce our work weeks: http://artificial-intelligence...

We should reduce working hours so that we can share the remaining work to reduce unemployment and reap the benefits of having automation with more leisure. See AI web comic: http://artificial-intelligence... and http://artificial-intelligence...

I'm pretty sure I didn't write any murder code, although I heard of customers writing plug-ins to control X10 devices based on conversational triggers, so you never know...

I'm happy for all the bots that got to compete this year, but I was a little unhappy on the preliminary round of this years competition compared to other years I entered. Only 4 entries can make it to the final round of the competition. There were 12 entries this year but 7 were disqualified due to contest management (Hugh Loebner) not having enough technical knowledge to get the entries working. Some well known bots based on ALICE AIML were disqualified, Cleverbot was disqualified, and my own Ultra Hal was disqualified ( http://www.zabaware.com/webhal ) Internet communication is prohibited so we all have to send the bots as self installing programs that can utilize the contests LPP protocol. My own bot is Linux based, which is a big hurdle for the preliminary round, but I sent it as a virtual box image to simplify it for contest management, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

But luckily there will be another competition this year as part of Alan Turing's 100 year centennial at Bletchley Park on June 23rd and recognized by the Olympics http://www.reading.ac.uk/news-and-events/releases/PR445524.aspx Some of the disqualified bots including my own will be competing there.
