Thoroughly enjoyed this new TED Talks video with speaker Blaise Aguera y Arcas.  Those familiar with the site probably remember Blaise for his presentation of Photosynth from a few years back.

And those familiar with the Wachowski brothers probably remember their prophecy video series “The Matrix” from a few years before that.  Seems like we’re getting there.  Better make time today to go out and befriend some robots.
