I will probably regret telling this secret, but having been relocated/new
identity several times due to the work I do, what the heck!

I once built a mosquito (actual size of course)  with AI capabilities.  The
processor was actually 150 PIC 12C509's that MicroChip put on one wafer
using a rather exotic machine with .00001 nm trace width's.  By using these
as a parallel processor, I was able to get enough intelligence that the
mosquito would fly, obtain and track objects.  I was up to the "lawyer
function" (blood sucking) part of the development when we ran into a
problem - the AI (based on the 3 laws of robotics) would refuse to perform
the function - this ending up scrapping the whole project.  Oh well such is
life.
