Fuzzy logic certainly is not the last word on AI. There are many different approaches. What about evolutionary algorithms? We do know that evolution has produced systems with a certain intelligence. The real problem may be that the complexity (and the drawbacks of evolved systems) may result in an simulated evolution needing as much time as natural evolution.

Also, evolution takes place in a certain environment and adaptation to that environment is one of the most important parts of evolution. What simulated environment is complex enough to evolve something that is fit for the real world?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
