FastForward Radio

Stephen Gordon and guest host Michael Sargent discuss the speech Eliezer Yudkowsky gave at the 2007 Singularity Summit. It turns out that the Singularity means different things to different people. We also covered the DARPA Urban Challenge that happened Saturday, and the new Fab Lab that won a Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Prize.

Love the bit about the baby powder. Insectoid chemical warfare!

Phil:

The baby powder works! I went out and checked the ant pile last night and they were dead. I even dug down into the bed. It's gone.
