I believe that Alblaka keeping this project secret for any longer is not only missing opportunities, but wil be in fact harmful to the project. I think this for two main reasons. One, keeping things secret leads to over-hype, and that leads to disappointment when it does come out. Two, keeping it secret prevents us from fixing flaws before they happen, and keeps us from flooding him in a shower of suggestions to enhance the project. As I said, keeping things secret leads to over-hype. This is so because people's imaginations are, to say the least, over-enthusiastic. While a robot civilization the slowly evolves would be extremely cool, it is highly unlikely that it would be the secret project, so when the project turns out to be anything less cool than whatever we can think up, we are disappointed. Revealing the project to us now would prevent us from coming up with these crazy/impossible ideas. My seconds point was that he is losing our input by keeping it secret. A large amount of Al's features were fan ideas, so obviously we have good ideas can help. If he revealed the project, then we could give our input, and stop faults and exploits before they happen. Keeping it secret blocks all of this, and also prevents the project from gaining any cool ideas the fans might spit out at it. My third, final, and most important reason that Al should tell us the project is that I (and everyone else in this universe) want to know what it is and the waiting is killing me.
Thanks for reading, tell me what you think.
