Teaching Machines Ethics, Finding God, and Mixing Up the Search

Can you believe South Korea is leading the way in ethics for machines. From the NewScientist,

"He-Young adds that the government's guidelines will reflect the "Three Laws of Robotics" put forward by science fiction author Isaac Asimov. These are:
1. A robot may not injure a human or, through inaction, allow a human to come to harm
2. A robot must obey orders given by a human unless these conflict with the first law
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as this does not conflict with the first or second law"

The mere mention of this makes me think of the slippery slope of ethics. Check out the original article.

And how about the "nature of God and a magic box." This article presents some research as to why exactly we "believe", even if we profess to be a "disbeliever." Check it out.

Maybe you think Microsoft can over take Google in search? (Right.) Well, here is there attempt to Mix things up.

Finally, maybe Ray should think twice before he downs 600 pills a day.
