# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (March 28, 2011)

* DARPA chat logs from the #avm channel were shared by kanzure (http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/avm.log), though some participants noted the discussion "went nowhere."

* Kanzure shared a link to Hopper SDK (http://hoppersdk.com/), indicating progress on this development platform.

* A discussion about robotics platforms included criticism of the Bilibot project (http://www.bilibot.com/about), which combines Kinect, iRobot, and ROS, with participants questioning why they used a Dell Latitude laptop rather than a Beagleboard for a robot that "doesn't need a screen."

* Library.nu was shared as a resource for "liberated" books, with a note that it's the successor to Gigapedia.

* A critique of AI development was shared, noting how AI proponents have shifted from promising strong AI to redefining simpler technologies like email filters as "AI," with a sardonic comment that SIAI (Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence) would "filter my inbox by 2045."

* A quote was shared characterizing Richard Stallman as "an amalgamation of profound hostility towards intellectual property law and contracts," attributed to Eric S. Raymond (ESR).
