Watched the Battlestar Galactica finale last night with its present-day clips of current robots at the end, such as QRIO, Asimo, Aibo, HUBO, and Actroid. Got me exploring last night and I stumbled upon Elbot, a chatterbot that apparently passed 20% of the Turing test at the last Loebner event.

In related news, Immuexa turned eleven two days ago. I can't think of a more fitting way to start our twelfth year than to return to our roots: cognitive agents. Our name is one I thought of while studying cognitive science, while designing Gravity in 1987, which uses agents as its central metaphor. Nevermind the Web and social networking and semantic web. That's all plumbing.

Agents are the deep future. And we'll start by making Waverly smarter.
