GLaDOS Got a New Gig
Looks like the iPhone 4S’s new Siri voice recognition feature takes advantage of a previously known artificial intelligence. Please note: I imagine the comments here will be full-to-bursting with tasteless, too soon Steve Jobs death and/or Portal jokes, so the sensitive may want to give them a pass; the rest of you may feel free to make thoroughly sure you’re going to hell. Thanks to ItstheRocketeer for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
