But I was itching for someone to use the word semantic when Andrew spoke of humans being replaced by 'machines talking to machines'..! Hi Bill,

I agree, perhaps in their position Google aren’t so worried that the divine ‘advent’ of the Semantic Web is too immediate.

But I was itching for someone to use the word semantic when Andrew spoke of humans being replaced by ‘machines talking to machines’..!

After all, Andrew seems to believe that Google wants to be the first AI and is worried that they'll take over the world...
