The article strays down a controversial road with this statement from the Go Digital interviewer...
"If you had an entire web that worked on this [semantic web] principle, you could have a digital organism that had a phenomenal amount of information and you have written that you're moving more in the direction then of an internet that can reason."
although TBL's response is cautious...
"[...] I think philosophically you can argue about it and spiritually you can argue about it, and I think in fact that may be true that you can make something as powerful as the brain, really whether you can make the algorithms to make it work like a brain is something else. "
Too right. Computing power + mass storage ≠ brain. This kind of "internet as brain" is reminsicent of Cohen & Stewart's extelligence in their book Figments of Reality.
Fave TBL quote, right at the end of the interview: "All I'm looking for now is just interoperability for data."
