I also stumbled upon that website and was both impressed with the potential and saddened at the inactivity.
For me the idea connects with the recent success of IBMs’ Debater algorithm, which is able to check facts online, rate the evidence “strength” and has a very general model of the world.
I would very much like to see a similar project aimed at this sort of Bayesian reasoning, where you enter a question and the algorithm tries to give probabilities to possibilities instead of this crowd-sourcing approach.
