Before The Singularity: Philip Rosedale Attempting to Create Sentient Artificial Intelligence That Thinks and Dreams in Second Life!
That Philip plans to revolutionize AI technology — in effect, achieving singularity in a virtual world — isn’t that surprising, because he said as much when I talked with him for The Making of Second Life:
“It’ll be possible for constructs that we build in Second Life and things like it in a simulated space to actually think,” he told me in 2007. “It’s only a decade away, the simulation engines.” I just didn’t imagine he’d essentially take the helm on that project himself.
