Yes you do young man.
And further:
The last movie you saw was Dungeons and Dragons, but you didn't really like
it, and not just because of the computer generated dragons. Your mother's
maiden name is "Soller". I'd tell you the name of your dog, but you'd don't
have one-- in fact, you've never had a pet of any kind. Mr. Marvin Minsky
once snapped at you during a Foresight Gathering. You went to "Hillel Torah
North Suburban Day School" at 7120 N. Laramie Skokie, Il. (Talk to Ruth
Goldberg at (847) 674-6533. She's on extension *816 and very helpful.)
Your best friend there was named David Levitt.
Further:
You've been discussing Friendly AI with Ben Goertzel and Samantha Atikins on
the SL4 mailing list, whose archives are down (and to which I do not
subscribe.) The inscription in your graduation year Hillel Torah yearbook
lists your life's goal as "to build and crew the first faster-than-light
starship."
Also, you've been considering ordering drapes, but have not yet done so.
Finally, you love games, and this post, despite its startling accuracy, is
going to make you strangely happy. You are not the sort of person who will
be bothered in the slightest by the intimacy of the information I have
posted herein, although it probably contains some unanticipated details that
might be a pleasant surprise. As a direct result of this post, you are now
aware that "something is going on," and you love a good mystery.
