A somewhat funny article about an AI. The people on this project have made some classic movie-AI mistakes. First of all, calling the machine 'Cyc', thus leaving it to the machine's newly discovered creative ability to realise that 'Cyc' expands handily to 'Cyc-o', for when it begins its bid to destroy humanity. Secondly, they're a company with corp in the name, building an AI. Everyone knows that the humanity-destroying AIs always come from something-corp. Nobody ever heard of SkyLabs Ltd. accidentally destroying the world. "Shall we play a game?"
