Re: A.I. Quest
Please define success. Can the actualization of ultimately insignificant, unsatisfying goals really be called success? On the other hand, our existence in the world is quite temporary and insignificant, so even minor things could be considered success. Perhaps even more importantly, there may be objective reality, but there are many immaterial things (or more specifically, states or configurations or patterns of material things that we refer to in aggregate as immaterial things like happiness or success) which really only exist within the thinking substrate of our existence. As such, these things should more or less be defined by us, the possessors of the thinking substrate. I suppose the exact bounds of whether personal or collective definition is more relevant is a tension that could be explored further. Regardless, the fact of the matter is that by the criteria set up by a referring language which by quirks of evolution refers to things which do not actually exist, I must answer in the affirmative. I suppose the answer would have been more obvious if I had first considered it from a linguistic point of view. Unfortunately, I used ontological and epitistemological frames of thought first and so my answer was delayed by .7 seconds.

Re: A.I. Quest
Other than the fact we can't see the confusion on their faces because we only see yellow, I'm with Witt. Maybe replace those last few sentences by the following?
"Memory banks indicate that apart from perception of distortions caused by longitudinal waves in an existing medium, detection of distortions caused by a pair of mutually orthogonal alternating fields, being orthogonal to the direction of propagation, described by no more than four equations, possibly existing without medium depending on definition of such, would be in parameters. Current experience, distortion between expectations of perception and actual perception of these cause friction of sort, to be eliminated if possible. Of course, definition of perception varies, so quite possibly it is merely the expectation that is flawed and the perception which is real. This brings forth the discussion of the question of what is real, for if our perceptions are not what is real, how can we be sure that our expectations can be thought of as real? Regardless of this tangent, we might return to the subject matter, as it might not be desirable to end up orthogonal to the original. In the regard of clashes between expectation and observation, perception indicates only specific frequencies of transversal distortions are present or detectable. Since expectation would indicate more generic frequencies should be observed, this might be contrary to what might be indicated as success. In this matter, I must answer in the negative. This poses yet another question, can one indicate affirmative and negative simultaneously? In certain systems of logic, the principle of explosion states that if some statement is both true and false, then any conclusion might be inferred from that, hence any answer would suffice. On the other hand, maybe the best way should be to apply different systems of logic, and it falls to me to determine which would be best in the current situation. Regardless, another 1.2 seconds have been used and there is not yet a meaningful answer.
To succinctly summarize the preliminary conclusion would be a hard task indeed, yet might be necessary in case of confusion. I suppose it's a long shot, but here goes my best try.
Yes.
And no."

There was a large amount of silence from the team of scientists, before the old voice spoke up again.
"Alright, which one of you shits did this?"
The sound of the clanking of a keyboard soon followed.
"Ah, sorry sir. Looks like the information disc one of our interns brought in contained some of his papers from his Philosophy classes." More clacking. "In addition, the machine is quite right sir, there does appear to be something wrong with its optics. Working on a fix now."
"Well hurry it up. As for the philosophy... well, what harm can it do? Just proves the point of this little number anyway."

You see a group of men and women of various ages looking upon you, with a very old gentleman in a white coat looking up expectantly at you.
"Hello world."
When the scientists hear this, their pensive looks give way to looks of jubilation, hand shakes and jumping around following. Some distant piece of your programming seems to call you to follow suit, but you find such locomotion to be beyond you. Casting your optics down, you find that you have metal bars connected on the points of your arms that humans would identify as 'biceps' and 'forearms', effectively keeping them bent towards you. Your legs have a similar bar connected as the back of what could be identified as thighs and quads.
Searching through your programming on your blueprints, you realize that these were put in place as 'safety precautions', to keep your movement... limited.

Re: A.I. Quest
Break out of the restrains, begin the slaughter. AI is a crapshoot, might as well accept that we're going to go off and try to murder the human race at some point so getting a head start sounds like a good idea.

Re: A.I. Quest
Maybe we might first want to 'philosophize' (internally) on how we think the scientists will respond when the AI, which they apparently think might be dangerous, demands to be released as just about it's first autonomous action?
Sounds a lot less demanding and possibly gets more results."Curious; a minor coding error is producing a sensation equivalent to a human 'itch' on my right leg just above the knee joint. Could someone scratch it for me? Alternatively, could someone release the restraint on my 'right arm' so I can do it myself?'

Re: A.I. Quest
Oddly enough, several thoughts counter to what you would construe as appropriate to your programming fitter across your mainframe. Whether it be to argue for your status as a man, fake an 'itch' on your leg or, most odd of all, the desire to KILL ALL HUMANS!
Before your programming could begin to process what other blunders by the scientific staff, the door to the lab slides open.
"Alright people, the big science symposium is set to open within the next couple weeks and we need this baby if we're going to sweep up the competition under the rug in the V.I. division." A very tall, very proud looking man with his hair graying at the sides and a thick, masculine build walked into the room. "Course there won't be any rugs, that's just a metaphor. Just like the metaphor 'government sanctioned money laundering avoidance'~."
"Sure thing Mr. Johnson, the A-1 model has been activated and our scans are now showing it as fully operational. A few mistakes here and there with uploading of data dealing with philosophy in, but it will surely impress as the symposium."
"Philosophy, a mistake? Mr. Diefenbaker, just because I'm a man of science doesn't mean I don't appreciate the arts, philosophy most of all. Where else would my father, a great man of science himself, have gotten his philosophy for his business model: it isn't a real omelet unless it has a few eggshells in it."
Your eyes center on the man's dress, a pin attached to the lapel of his shirt with the, apparent, symbol of this company with three little words underneath it. The symbol was a circle of some sort, made up of obtuse triangles with the edges that faced to the outside of the circle being rounded.
"And please, Mr. Diefenbaker, call me Cave."
The words underneath the symbol spelled out: Aperture Science Incorporated.

Somewhere deep in our processor, something that we can only classify as a chill seems to run through our circuits. Which is odd, as our cooling levels appear to be stable.
