Did anyone remember "Project Milo" it was concealed

[Pawelk198604]

I heard that some joked that it was canceled because it make result in rouge AI like Skynet in the future:D

But does we ever be able to create Skynet or at least Hal 9000?

Molyneux wishes he could build Skynet. Sadly it requires more than a highly scripted presentation.

Frankly I think Steve Grand is probably more on the right track.

While interesting I doubt they were able to get it to work as they intended.

They said right there that it won't come back as they couldn't make a game out of it. Which to me is dev talk for, "It never worked as well as in the demo." I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the demo was all scripted before hand. Pretty sure that voice recognition isn't able to determine emotion from your voice yet. yet.

Well, Microsoft did register this patent application a couple of years ago.

A computer system, a computer-implemented method, and computer readable media configured to target advertisements based on emotional states are provided. Advertisers specify desired emotional states of users they intend to target with advertisements. Advertisers also provide emotional tags having the desired emotional state of users that should see the advertisements linked to the emotional tags. Online activities for users are obtained and processed to assign emotional states to the users. An advertisement engine selects advertisements that are emotionally compatible based on the assigned emotional states and the desired emotional states provided by the advertisers.

So basically this is Milo without the cutesy avatar. (Probably.)

You don't need to be able to build a working system to apply for a patent. Patents cover methods, not implementations.

Sounds pretty scripted, and don't you have to stand a little ways back for the kinect to work?

Yeah that is exactly what i am thinking about it. Just some PR s**t.

You mean to say Peter Molyneux promised something he couldn't deliver? He'd never do such a thing!

[Javster]

PLEASE look at my thread about grammatical annoyances. ROUGE IS FRENCH FOR RED, IT ISN'T THE WORD YOU MEAN.

Back on topic, this AI stuff is interesting, and slightly worrying, in a nutshell.

[R0cketC0der]

That demo is DEFINITELY 99% scripted(the 1% is the timing off that character speaking). Also, who the heck would want to talk to a virtual character pretending to have feelings anyway? Even IF they were able to make a working AI like that Xavier it definitely wouldn't be able to run on a Xbox 360.

I have only followed him since Fable was announced back in 2001, few of his visions and promises has ended up as gameplay.

[Skyler4856]

IF this was real, it'd revolutionize game-play.

This page has an interview, although I'd take his words with a grain of salt

*Whoosh* .

[ximrm]

If Molyneux intended to create Skynet, I wouldn't worry.

Peter promises all kinds of things and then he doesn't deliver half of what he promised.

I like him(one of my childhood heroes), I just wish he was more realistic.

If we didn't have such high expectations, maybe some of his projects would have been conceived much better.

[Pawelk198604]

Aside project Milo. I just wonder why so many people are so worry about AI and what it could do if something went wrong. Do you believe that humans can create AI that goes rouge?

And even so we can always pull the plug and problem is solved:D

Do you believe that murderous computer like SkyNet or HAL 9000 is possible ? I don't think so

It's dad that Milo isn't real thing and i could afford buying xbox

I would love to teach Milo this song:D

To cite Michio Kaku- "Today's AI can be compared to that one of a retarded cockroach"

[TheFlyingPigs]

Milo is real and happening!

I had it for breakfast!

[Rickenbacker]

Milo was cancelled because, while it was able to react to people in a somewhat believable manner, it would have taken many years and many millions of dollars to turn that into something that could interact with ALL people (ever notice how the 360 Kinect doesn't seem to recognize black people?), and to insert some kind of game so it wouldn't just be an art project. At least according to Molyneux.
