Subject: Shermer debunks AI - what a relief ...

Taking a break from worrying about cryonics, Michael Shermer has recently 
turned his attention to whether human-level AI is anywhere in sight.  His 
Skeptic publication has an article on this by Peter Kassan:

Considering the reckless promotion of this idea advocated by many, I'm 
almost hoping he is right.  Shame too - advanced AI could be so very very 
good, given adequate safeguards.
