   Speaking of words.. reminds me of this story that I read on     
   [RT]:   
      
   "Voicechat AI Censorship: Taking all the fun out of online   
   gaming?   
      
   "Intel is developing technology for in-game voice chat for video   
   games that will filter out harmful language before anyone hears   
   it.   
      
   "The software, called "The Bleep", uses AI processing to remove   
   insults and hateful language through extensive use of speech-to-   
   text filters and monitoring "conversation temperature".   
      
   "Misogyny, name-calling, and racial hate speech, as well as   
   other types of profanity, are categorized and can be toggled on   
   or off, with a slider to scale the level of toxicity redacted   
   from voice chat.   
      
   "Intel announced they're planning to release Bleep into beta   
   sometime this year.   
      
   "But the question remains: does Intel even care about pwning   
   n00bz?
