It seems that Google has plans to create an independent, self-aware, artificial life-form that will tell us all what we're looking for. To wit:

Speaking at a conference for Google's European partners, entitled Zeitgeist '06, on the outskirts of London last night Google chief executive Eric Schmidt and co-founder Larry Page gave an insight into perhaps the most ambitious project the Californian business is undertaking - artificial intelligence (AI).

"The ultimate search engine would understand everything in the world. It would understand everything that you asked it and give you back the exact right thing instantly," Mr Page told an audience of the digerati representing firms from Warner Music and AOL to BSkyB and the BBC. "You could ask 'what should I ask Larry?' and it would tell you."

Found at the Guardian, UK, May 23.

I suppose this is what happens when you have billions of dollars in hand, and enough yes-men around to prevent anyone from telling you that you've lost your mind.

Well, while the realities of AI usually end up in something so tremendously useful as the MS paperclip. ...
