- A DARPA chat log from the #avm channel was posted at http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/avm.log (later fixed after an initial 403 error).  
- kanzure shared library.nu as a new source of “liberated” books, identified by fenn as the successor to gigapedia.  
- Discussion of the “Arduino of robotics” concept led to the Bilibot project: a mobile manipulation platform combining a Kinect, iRobot Create base, ROS middleware, and an on-board Dell laptop.  
- fenn criticized the Bilibot’s choice of a full Dell Latitude instead of a lower-power board like BeagleBoard, arguing a robot doesn’t need a screen.  
- kanzure quoted Eric S. Raymond’s characterization of Richard Stallman as “an amalgamation of profound hostility towards intellectual property law and contracts.”  
- A sarcastic remark noted the trend of redefining AI downward—once promising strong AI, now claiming email filters qualify—joking that SIAI’s 2045 goal might be “inbox filtering.”
