   5th generation computing CRASHED in the late 80s, when everybody
   else was cheering, "Yay, no more Soviet Union", I was a 16 year
   old kid going, "fuck fuck, they killed the parallel processing!
   They killed it!" ... but then I got a 300bps modem and a 286 and
   got online. I was satisfied with making new friends online. But
   still... the back of my head was annoyed.

   I kept waiting. All they did is make computers a little faster,
   tweak the graphics.[2]#yay unsure emoticon But the internet was
   fun to watch progress and I've been enjoying the ride.

   *FINALLY* robots came back into vogue, and AI started becoming a
   "thing" again in the early 2000s. I thought robotics was dead. I
   thought artificial intelligence was dead.

   So, it's hard to pin hopes in singularity dreams.
