[edit] Mindpixel data

I've got a backup of McKinstry's 80K questions (>3.5MB of HTML!) for my own AI tinkering, and mindpixel.com now carries nothing but an epitaph. Would it be helpful to upload the questions somewhere and link to them? It seems pretty clear that he wanted people to use them. --Kris Schnee 21:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely, and thanks in advance. To be frank, I really don't think the Mindpixel approach will (or would have) ever produce(d) an AI, but the data gathered is still worth having for its own sake.
The data would be more useful in a more structured format though rather than in HTML, preferably in a database. I suppose you could compress and upload the files you have to your site. --Amit 20:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Oops! I didn't know that anyone had replied to this. I'll see if I can still find the data. I agree that the data wouldn't produce an AI by itself, but that it can be useful for several purposes. (For one thing, some of it was incorporated into ALICE.) -Kris Schnee 20:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robitron link

Recently the link to the Robitron discussion list was removed as spam. I'm not sure this was a good idea, because McKinstry argued the MIST there extensively. On the other hand, actually finding the relevant messages would require signing up and digging through the archives. -Kris Schnee 20:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
