  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.
