Our OpenCog/SNet team is spending a lot of time on down-to-earth stuff, some of which we'll talk about in some future AGI Discussion sessions Mainly -- design of a new programming language (MeTTA = Meta Type Talk) designed to serve as the type system and formalism behind the new version of OpenCog Atomspace. A lot of math/CS work has been done in the last 9 months leading up to this design... -- a new architecture for a high performance distributed Atomspace store -- a prototype of current "OpenCog Classic" controlling characters in Minecraft via a pure experiential learning framework -- use of current "OpenCog Classic" together with neural nets for controlling the Grace humanoid robot, and analyzing genomic and clinical medical data for personalized medicine The first 2 will be good AGI Discussion Forum topics, but we're aiming to slightly more fully bake our design specs first... However, these are also very nitty-gritty topics, and for fostering discussion among folks pursuing AGI via different paradigms and approaches, it can also be good to dip into some higher level topics that aren't so particular to anyone's special approach... FWIW I do think we can achieve human-like consciousness via Hyperon design, but I also think it's not necessarily the most interesting thing one can do -- there are fairly severe limitations to human-like consciousness and in some ways I think our AGIs will be able to do better... ben ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5e30c339c3bfa713-Ma63960839820024d26222864 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
