The leading software packages in high speed facial recogniton are based upon
feature extraction.
If the face is analyzed into lets say 30 features perhaps, then 30 processes
could analyze the photo for these features in parallel.
After that the 30 features are just looked up in a relational

Can you explain to me how an AGI or supercomputer could be God? I'd just

Thanks. So perhaps the key idea/ assumption behind this and comparable
scenarios is that of an AGI relentlessly evolving its knowledge and
intelligence - the takeoff that keeps going - towards omniscience?

I don't know some of these guys come up with these almost sophomoric views
of this subject, especially Dawkins, that guy can be real annoying with his
Saganistic spewing of facts and his trivialization of religion.
The article does shed some interesting light though in typical NY Times
style.
John,
What I found most interesting in the article, from an AGI standpoint, is the
evidence our brain is wired for explanation and to assign a theory of mind
to certain types of events. A natural bias toward explanation would be
important for an AGI's credit assignment and ability to predict.
