<p>I went to see <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0181852">Terminator 3</a> with the <a href="http://xopus.com">Xopus</a> team. Afterwards we had some discussion about machine intelligence, not about the movie itself. That's usually a sign of a good movie.</p>
<p>On a related subject, <a href="http://greg.abstrakt.ch/archives/000312.html">Gregor linked</a> to <a href="http://www.intothematrix.com/rl_cmp/animatrix_site_ep1_480.html">The Second Renaissance</a>, a history of the world before the Matrix was created. Like the Terminator movies, this gave me the feeling that machines will always win, they simply have a evolutionary advantage. Lon told me that <a href="http://www.tecsoc.org/innovate/focusbilljoy.htm">Bill Joy has the same ideas</a>. He even recommended that scientists halt potentially dangerous research. In a certain way, Terminator 3 shows that the Semantic Web is the biggest danger. We should stop developing it!</p>
<p>I'm not even sure if I should say that I'm only kidding.</p>
