Ian: Suppose I want to know about the characteristics of concrete You seem to think you can know about an object without ever having seen it or physically interacted with it? As long as you have a set of words for the world, you need never have actually experienced or been in the world?
You can "fight Israel" and "lay concrete" merely by manipulating words?

"What is the difference between laying concrete at 50C and fighting Israel?". That is my question my 2 pennyworth. Other people can elaborate. If that question can be answered you can have an automated advisor in B&Q. Suppose I want to know about the characteristics of concrete. Of course one thing you could do is go to B&Q and ask them what they would be looking for in an avatar. - Ian Parker On 19 July 2010 02:43, Colin Hales <c.ha...@pgrad.unimelb.edu.au> wrote: Try this one ... http://www.bentham.org/open/toaij/openaccess2.htm If the test subject can be a scientist, it is an AGI. cheers colin Steve Richfield wrote: Deepak, An intermediate step is the "reverse Turing test" (RTT), wherein people or teams of people attempt to emulate an AGI. I suspect that from such a competition would come a better idea as to what to expect from an AGI. I have attempted in the past to drum up interest in a RTT, but so far, no one seems interested. Do you want to play a game?!
