# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Feb 9, 2011)

The log was relatively quiet with minimal substantive discussion. The few notable points include:

• A BBC article about robots getting their own "internet" was mentioned (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12400647), with brief speculation about implications and potential commentators.

• There was a brief reference to a financial connection between Patri Friedman and Peter Thiel, suggesting an "active conduit of money" between them.

• A user briefly speculated about robots developing their own internet, making a reference to "Geth" (likely from Mass Effect) and wondering how long until it "wakes up."

• The channel had to deal with a disruptive user claiming to have a large forum and making unfounded claims about Ray Kurzweil stealing their ideas.

• A user inquired about renewable energy discussions, specifically photovoltaics, and was directed to the ##electronics channel for more appropriate assistance.
