This is an interesting example of how the changing definitions doesn’t change reality. ‘Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence’ sounded all future-y to me, and ‘Machine Intelligence Research Institute’ sounds all technical and intelligent (silly stereotypes), but in reality they’ve not changed. Still the same people, doing the same things.
The Machine Intelligence Research Institute indeed sounds like some older guys, maybe cranky but well accomplished in the field, working on something… That is until you find star trek reference.

Gonna have to change the site name, though...
