“Code needs to work!” “This is why PHP is good” escaping = blacklist = does not work most of the time

Siri – Personal Skynet

Joe Rogan podcast #148 with Kevin Pereira and Brian Redban (Video)

So who is Siri? You could ask her, but you are probably better off sooking it up in Wikipedia.

Siri uses Wolfram Alpha and probably Samsung’s S Voice does too. Which is pretty amazing. (Google Now just hands off the search phrase to Google search engine, which is nice, but a lot less impressive.)
Here are a few examples:
Miskolc
France
Europe Population order
Europe Population List

Siri is a spinoff of CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes). (“CALO attempted to integrate numerous AI technologies” “CALO was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under its Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program.”)

This reminds me of OS One in Her – Why ‘Her’ Is the Best Movie Ever Made About the Singularity

And my favorite AI in Person of Interest 🙂
