Re: [agi] Kinds of minds: minimal-, modest-, huge-resource

2004-08-22 Thread Arthur T. Murray

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.
