It’s just data

Let Google be your guide.

This is too freaky.  Last week, I had dinner with Miguel because of my weblog.  Now in just over two weeks I'll be in Beaverton, this time with a little prodding by Google.  Jon is right that Radio is a lab for group-forming, but one thing he apparently missed is that there is enough data out there for Google to be a part of the equation.

Four days after I created my blog, Google in its infinite wisdom decided that this is the definitive reference for "Sam Ruby".  A few weeks ago (I don't know exactly when) Google decided that it had enough information on me to be able to determine what pages are similar.  If you look now, you will see that the first two were written by me, so not much inferencing is evident there.  But the third really floored me.  Indeed, I had seen others mentioning this conference, but I don't recall ever mentioning it myself.  I also had people approach me at the interop face to face suggesting that I would want to be there.  But to have Google be able to recognize this linkage is just too much.

Step aside deep blue, I think we have found true Artificial Intelligence.
