Yeah, I think that it is unlikely that the software (primarily commercial) sector will come up with a solution to the problem before dedicated projects will, and I also think that when people say that brain emulation is a viable option that they are ignoring the fact (after they have a way of

[susaro.com] This development environment goes by the name of SAFAIRE (which stands for 'Safe and Friendly AI Research Environment', and is pronounced * sapphire*). Interesting... Sapphire is the name of my project. --- agi Archives:

You would require visual intelligence to build these nanobots. Not necessarily visual, but spatial. They are not synonymous. It is impossible to bootstrap perceptual grounding from a purely symbolic AGI. It does not know how to build 3D robots. Ah-ah-ah... be careful here, remember the big

Well, I figured the point of the question would be pretty clear seeing as you were claiming a logical/mathematical description of images would be inadequate, but I don't think that could be further from the truth... You could recreate a large amount of detail in an image using mathematics and it

I have seen very good and productive threads on this list, but they tend to be the exception. Hence I mostly just delete the items from the list, and follow the occasional thread that looks interesting or involves people who have posted more reasonable items in the past Yeah, that is typically

Seems reasonable to me. Honestly, it should be up to those proposing their theory to explain it in full detail off-list and then link to it for discussion. But... it seems things are re-explained time after time. If they were properly explained somewhere appropriate I would think they would be

I really like this idea. I am a much bigger fan of forums than mailing lists. How many of our list members are severely limited by bandwidth concerns? (too much so to move to a forum platform?) --- agi Archives:

I do a lot of lurking around here, I read about 60% of what is posted and I would definitely love to see more engineering-specific content. I myself am working on a pet theory and have a substantial amount of code written... so to me, anything testable, downloadable, and provable hits a good chord

Derek, I am in FULL AGREEMENT. I by far prefer the forum. Frankly I get tired of scrolling through tons and tons of layered quotes, and poor formatting. (just a personal preference though). But if we did move to the forum I would like to see some LaTeX support. I think that would be a blessing!
