I'm going to try and elucidate my approach to building an intelligent system, in a round about fashion. This is the problem I am trying to solve.
Imagine you are designing a computer system to solve an unknown problem, and you have these constraints A) Limited space to put general information about the world B) Communication with the system after it has been deployed. The less the better. C) We shall also assume limited processing ability etc The goal is to create a system that can solve the tasks as quickly as possible with the least interference from the outside. I'd like people to write a brief sketch of your solution to this sort of problem down. Is it different from your AGI designs, if so why? Okay so an example test is: Survey wrecks in the ocean in a submersible. What information would you send to the submersible system, to enable it to survey better? My answers to these questions. System Sketch? -> It would have to be generally programmable, I would want to be able to send it arbitrary programs after it had been created, so I could send it a program to decrypt things or control things. It would also need to able to generate it's own programming and select between the different programs in order to minimise my need to program it. It is not different to my AGI design, unsurprisingly. It would need initial programming, those programs may be something like AGI systems we have at the moment, but the point of the system would be it would be able to chose between different programs dependent upon what was found to be useful. Done in a Eric Baum/Agoric systems fashion. What information ? -> Initially alterations to programs to change the language that I communicate with the system to reduce the amount of communication needed. Wreck, tide, motor, current would get a short descriptions for example.
