Maybe there are some students on this email list, who are wading through all the BS and learning something about AGI, by following links and reading papers mentioned here, etc. Without the Net, how would these students learn about AGI, in practice? Such education would be far harder to come by and less effective without the Net. That's world-changing... ;-) ...
The Net saves time. Back in the day, one could spend a lifetime sifting through paper in the library, or traveling the world to meet "authorities". Now you do some googling, realize that no one has a clue, & go on to do some real work on your own. That's if you have the guts, of course. intelligence-as-a-cognitive-algorithm ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
