how about selling the software to spammers while also selling more difficult tests to sites like yahoo? anyone want to get rich quick? :) Two things come to mind: 1) might be useful at some stage for doing tests of perceptual systems, in some cases possibly even for directing research

I do agree that it seems a bit forced at times; the thing that struck me about it is that it seems to be a efficient method of filtering confusing or seemingly contradictory ideas into a set of data that is relatively easy to parse and/or analyze. the 'debate' between Kant and a modern philosopher

The idea of putting a baby AI in a simulated world where it might learn cognitive skills is appealing. But I suspect that it will take a huge number of iterations for the baby AI to learn the needed lessons in that situation This is definitely a serious consideration - one way to overcome this

Alan, [motovation problem]. No, human euphoria is much more than simple neural reenforcement. It is a result of special endorphines such as dopomine that are released when the midbrain is happy about something. You're right. I really should have thought out that post a little more before

Indeed, I regretted those choices as soon as I hit the send button ... Hi Jonathan, I think Sim City and many of the Sim games would be good but Civilization 3 and Alpha Centauri and Black White are highly competitive and allow huge scope for being combative. Compared to earlier versions,

There is no reason you couldn't take every single deterministic, P algorithm in the standard C++ libraries and implement it as hardware. Most programs would then be mostly written in assembly language, with constructions like binarysearch[sorted_array x, search_target y] replacing add

As I said (maybe you read what I had written as a joke) reconfigurable logic is your best choice. It's almost as good as custom hardware. Even though its pricey, you only have to buy it once and simply upload new designs to it. no, I didn't take it as a joke. I know FPGA's and such are the
