>>>>>[I am just about ready to make a run on AIs systems. I've been
developing a type of 'smart-ice' that will hopefully give us an edge.
I'm going running a test-run in the next couple of days, and if the
self-preservation and self-modification code works correctly, I'll assign
the program the correct parameters for an AI run and let it loose.]<<<<<

undertaken. If it hadn't been for the six Yoshida expert systems, it
would have been several years.]<<<<<

kind of a clue what the hell they are up to.]<<<<<
