This quick presentation stuck a chord. We are going through a phase change in regards to our relationship to our environment, namely our ability to program our world.
&#8220;If you aren&#8217;t a programmer, then you are one of the programmed&#8230; These  are the stages our civilization has moved through, in successive stages  of media&#8230; [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://fromheretosingularity.com">From Here To Singularity</a></p>

Now this sounds to me like &#62;narrow&#60; ai, of a sort, but it is certainly generalizing, learning type behaviour. The helicopter monitors the activity of an expert helicopter pilot, and then, compensating for environmental differences (wind etc), performs the same maneuvers itself.
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://fromheretosingularity.com">From Here To Singularity</a></p>

One step closer to mind reading &#8211; this wheel chair interprets sub-vocalized speech &#8211; in other words, your stream of internal self-talk, and turns it into movement.

Nice quick summary of the current status quo of virtual/real world convergence, though I still think that people take &#8216;Second Life&#8217; far too seriously, and the google earth/MS Earth tools aren&#8217;t showing the potential to have make any substantive changes to our existence yet.
