I knew about this site but recently came across a link to another quite interesting article, “Why We Can be Confident of Turing Test Capability Within a Quarter of a Century”. Yes, Kurzweil’s books are too long and repetitive, and he does hold some unusual views, but ...

Basically I receive a large number of email bounce messages which were sent ‘from’ xxx@blogbridge.com, where I never heard of xxx. And there are a ton of different xxx’s.
