Makes me think of Cyc which is still around ( https://www.cyc.com ). Wonder if any HNers have experiences with it? I tried opencyc and was fascinated. It's a prology lisp married to a huge database of rules and knowledge. The open source version doesn't ship with the knowledge part so it's hard to evaluate if it's of any practical use. Was meaning to apply for a research license but didn't find time yet.
