My reaction exactly :-)

I got to attend their training in 2003, at Cycorp, which is still around [1]. Some REALLY amazingly smart people.

I wonder if he's saying "it's done!" in hopes of not getting buried by DeepMind... kind of a last-ditch effort for "Strong AI".

Funny you bring that up. I've been telling people that the one victory we had for common sense was the fact that things like DeepMind approximate it in how they work. They're usually trained on too narrow data vs Cyc. Yet, they do find patterns esp in classification and action/response like human intuition does. I was going to suggest to people that they be used in logical/intuitive hybrids to replace things like Cyc. Maybe hitch a ride on a different bandwagon with benefits from all the effort going into it.
