I wouldn't call the Civ AI, artificial intelligence. It's just a few sets of IFs that the bots follow. There's no learning, no intelligence, just a set of rules the programmer made. Even though Gandhi feels like he's made his own choices by becoming a conqueror, it's because there's a bug...
What is confusing that there are multiple levels/concepts discussed as AI. Some exist and have existed for a longer time, others such as self-aware "robots" that can figure out their own philosophy are far off. Maybe quantum computing will provide something for the type that Asimov(and others)...
I'm feeling depressed over these attacks, the consequences and even worried for someone who is from SL. Don't really feel it's appropriate to give Trump any more air-time here.

It seems my regimen of ascetics, mental and physical training is working so I've been having a string of good days that I didn't expect I'd ever have again. If there's no way out, just keep on clawing your way out of the hole. That's how we do it! Any victory is a bonus, a scar is a notch on our...
In my country they were almost universally laughed at, creationists were seen as an American countryside thing. In school I was taught evolution by Christians, none of whom were close to creationism... during my school days it was only ever in newspapers in the "offbeat" section along with...
