To the AGI list

Mine is semi hobbyist work e.g. because the retirement-hobby successor
of my current at-office-work Bismon <http://github.com/bstarynk/bismon/>
system (which /apparently/ is not related at all to AGI, but in my mind
is on purpose designed to become /later/ a possible foundational work
for a future AGI embryonic system similar in spirit to CAIA
<http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3/2014/04/caia-my-colleague/>)
could, in five years, be presented here as a tiny basis for AGI.
But*hobbyist work on AGI requires some experimental work which can be
looked by peers* -other people with AGI interests- and IMNSHO such
experiment means open source or free software
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software> software [sub-]systems
related to AGI.
I see few of such academic free software software sub-systems (somehow
indirectly related to AGI) even mentioned on this mailing list.
I would appreciate more sharing and discussion of results, less
pointless speculation and arguing about whose theory is best. None of
us really know how to build AGI, so it ends up being the blind trying
to lead the blind.
I fully agree with that. I don't claim to know how to build AGI. I do
have some beliefs (mostly shared with J.Pitrat's ones
<http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3/>), see below
(where I just repeat what I wrote before)
In my initial email asking about scholar references in Russian, I wrote
not only
However, I am (aged 60 and....) more and more interested in reading
Russian academic papers -in particular experimental ones- on the
following topics (see Pitrat's blog
<http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3/>):
* symbolic AGI
* common sense reasoning
* metaknowledge based AI systems
* reflective and introspective AI systems.
but also, (initially in smaller fonts)
I am interested by experimental free software AGI systems, not by
"pseudo-theoretical bullshit" or "I need a million US$ to make AGI"
kind of messages. I would like a reliable automatic free software
which filters such useless and annoying messages. *I strongly believe
that AGI is as difficult to achieve as e.g. a human expedition to
Mars, or a controlled nuclear fusion reactor (à la ITER).*
