[FRIAM] the arc of ai (was Re: Whew!)

[Frank Wimberly]

I am risking citing authorities again.  Marc Raibert left Carnegie Mellon,
founded the Leg Lab at MIT, then founded Boston Dynamics.

  Raibert, Marc H. and Francis C. Wimberly.
      Tabular Control of Balance in a Dynamic Legged System.
      IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics 14, 1984.

Believe me, it's not possible that anything like that goes on in human
nervous systems.
