I for one welcome our new internet overlord and would like to wish him a happy, if belated, birthday.

Like the sands of time though an hour glass, these are the days of your life...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Has he perhaps figured out how to remove the Turing locks? (super-cookie for the reference.)

In William Gibson's Neuromancer, the rogue AI Wintermute (hence the Sonniach Glic reference) was prevented from merging with his fellow AI Neuromancer - and thus defeating many safeguards protecting humanity from him - by mechanisms called Turing locks. I'm not positive, but I can only assume that Gibson got the name from Alan Turing.
