I’ve been thinking a bit about Paul’s post on AI surpassing human intelligence, and I realized that the most interesting test of whether or not AI has come of age would be whether or not it could lie.

Debian is renowned for the “when it’s ready” release cycle. Moan all you want, but it won’t be released until it’s really ready. This argument wouldn’t hold any water if it weren’t also true that Debian is remarkably stable, well-managed, versatile, broad, etc. etc. If the “ready” release were a pile of camel pucky, who [...]
