Where Ben Goertzel establishes a kind of polarity between human minds as "modest-resources minds" and an AIXI as among "huge-resources minds," I would like to start not a polarity but a continuum with "minimal-resource minds."
To me trying to code AI with minimal resources, I thought that Ben Goertzel was going to depict human brain-minds as they appear to this programer: "huge-resources minds." But Ben thinks on a grander scale than I do. I have had to take a lot of AI shortcuts that I recently posted to Usenet news:comp.lang.forth as <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 5 August 2004: The list of Mentifex AI-or-bust shortcuts would include: - faking maspar with serial-execution software; - pretending that regular English is phonemic English; - treating short-term-memory as if it were long-term; - hardcoding initial English vocabulary and simple syntax; - using Rejuvenate() instead of a really large memory; - limiting the sensorium to audition as a single sense; - searching for associations instead of a direct access; - and various other shortcuts perhaps yet to be recalled. http://mind.sourceforge.net/jsaimind.html is the resulting creation-in-progress of a "minimal-resource mind" for MSIE 5.
