For many kinds of purposes, a better (and vastly faster) approach is to grow a network fabric between the two networks in a kind of soft merge. Not quite as smart as a true merge in theory, but if the two networks have been training on somewhat orthogonal classes of information, may have a

Hi Shane, I understand your perspective and I think it's a reasonable one. I think that what you'll get from this approach, if you're lucky, is a kind of primitive brain, suitable to control something with general intelligence around that of a reptile or a very stupid mammal. Then, you can use

Hi Ben, Thanks for the comments. I understand your perspective and I think it's a reasonable one. Well your thinking has surely left it's mark on my views ;-) I think that what you'll get from this approach, if you're lucky, is a kind of primitive brain, suitable to control something with

Shane, Yes, this is the basic idea. Some structures and dynamics will tend to categorize and cluster information, some will tend to recognize temporal patterns, some might tend to store information, some will be mixtures of these things. Exactly what I'll find is hard to know in advance.

Secondly, fusion of two trained AIs may be a very costly procedure. I'm beginning to study this topic and it seems that the complexity is generally polynomial with small exponents such as O(n^3) but with EXTREMELY large n's like 1 billion. I'm mainly studying ANNs, maybe other architectures
