Turing test
How close do you think computers are to passing the Turing test? Or do you think that they never will?
I was thinking about it, and some bots (such as "Cleverbot") are good enough that they have actually led some people into theories about how it actually just reads your input and sends it to another human, and vice versa (so Clevebot's "thoughts" are actually just the musings of a human being deemed suitable for your conversation thus far). I don't think this is a sound theory, but it shows that Cleverbot is smart enough that people mistake it as a human (and that's what the Turing test is).

Some computers can learn and distinguish objects, some can even interpret human emotions.
I've heard somewhere that it's becoming quite difficult to distinguish computers from living organisms

Honda's "Asimo" robot can do that. I want one so bad.

That's awesome.

Robots 1 | Turing 0.
I'm not a proponent of weak AI but I don't think computers will take over the world. I certainly hope not anyway.

Think of CAPTCHAs breakers, some have an accuracy of over 90% ( http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~mori/research/gimpy/ ) I believe that average humans do much less than that.
I once saw on TV that some scientists replicated the brain of a fly and made it drive a toy aeroplane

I saw a video where they put wheels on the motherboard of an IBM compatible PC and made it drive around. That was pretty cool. But not as cool as a toy plane that flies itself.
How did it know how to fly, when it has (presumably) propeller engines instead of flappable wings?

The "brain" was controlling the direction, the engine had a switch I believe.
Once they turned it on it was flying around in a room with white and black rectangles drawn on the walls to test it's ability of recognising obstacle. It was avoiding the walls and the people in there as well

Wow, cool. AI is awesome.
I wish the Arch Linux maintainers hadn't pulled the 64-bit flash package, and that Adobe hadn't stopped 64-bit support. Gnash for some reason has never worked. I wanted to watch the video I linked you to, but can't.

I saw the full documentary from which that video was from, it was quite interesting.
I found some resource on the fly brain research: http://dickinson.caltech.edu/
The artificial fly brain was constructed from the data of that research. I remember it was someone in Switzerland but I can't find specific info on that
BTW, regarding your flash: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_32bit_Flash_on_a_64bit_System

Here is a video ( not flash ) on the fly research:

I just remembered -- with a Firefox addon I installed I can download YouTube videos as .flv, .mp3 or .3gp files and play them on VLC.
