Amazing isn't it, we've been theorising about AI for thousands of years and now, finally, we can nearly simulate a worm ;+}

It's prettycoool, though, self-learning etc ... I bought 'The Handbook of Genetic Algorithms' when i was at uni, fantastic programming methodology.

Looking forward to what Google will do with robots and AI within the next couple of decades.
