Another weird thing about this is that there is no rational
possibility of reading that entry as a "plug for Eric "AI" Drexler".
Drexler is mentioned, in one sentence, but not favorably or
unfavorably, just a simple fact.

Is the whole article just an inside joke or something?  I'd hate to
call the guy to discuss this only to find out I'm just lame for not
getting the joke.
