response to the article

The most interesting thing about the article was the comment on how the Lord of the Rings battle scenes were being created. I believe this is one of the major benefits of serious AI, less time and effort required to implement complex systems. If you find anything more on how they did the battle scenes, please post it.

On the topic of Ants, or bees, running the internet, I believe this could get interesting. My concern, though, is that this may improve the chances of some sites on the net being disconnected from the rest. A self organizing structure may actually promote the development of such a disconnected topology by reinforcing the connections to the "popular" sites, and avoiding the "unpopular" sites. I think we may lose, at least partially, one of the great benefits of the web. Just my 2 cents.

I'll see if I can find any more information on Lord of the Rings... I was indeed really impressed too ;)

The problems you raise about the Net are very pertinent indeed, and I guess that's what the research is all about: making sure that everyone gets what they want, and not only the most important.

However, the key issue is that the standard 'back-bone' approach will fail in the future when many users are online, so even a not-quite-perfect self-organising approach will perform better...
