Still, you're right: the attempts matter, even if you or I (and I'm not speaking for you) think they might not be the right attempts. As always, Chris is the standard bearer in this regard. I can't think of anyone who's backed up his beliefs more. As for Mr. Hecker, I missed the episode you're refering to. Do you have a link, or other keywords that might help with a Google?

It remains an extremely hard set of problems to solve. Soeaking of AI as the great promised land: did you catch the whole brouhaha around Chris Hecker and the Wii last March?

On the Prairie Arts blog I wrote about my own frustrations regarding the limited application of AI in a variety of areas where I thought it held promise. The early excuse was that there wasn't enough processing power. Later excuses involved flat-out lies and self-delusion in the industry, and it wore me down. You already know my take on interactive storytelling, and where I think the limits are. AI was always the great promised land, but too few people thought in terms of incremental advances. I'll be reading the link-text soon and following up. Thanks for the post. Mark I haven’t even read the linked text yet, but I agree with you wholeheartedly.
