“That Philip plans to revolutionize AI technology — in effect, achieving singularity in a virtual world — isn’t that surprising, because he said as much when I talked with him for The Making of Second Life:

‘It’ll be possible for constructs that we build in Second Life and things like it in a simulated space to actually think,’ he told me in 2007. ‘It’s only a decade away, the simulation engines.’ I just didn’t imagine he’d essentially take the helm on that project himself.”
