I know someone will reply by saying it only seems hard because none of us in the field has anywhere near the right approach. I understand that's a possibility, though obviously I don't think that's the right explanation ;-p .... The explanation we suggest is not so glib and is based on some serious thinking about AGI design and the nature of mind. It's sort of a weaker cousin of the "complex systems problem" that Richard Loosemore has often mentioned...) -- Ben G -- Ben Goertzel, PhD CEO, Novamente LLC and Biomind LLC CTO, Genescient Corp Chairman, Humanity+ Adjunct Professor of Cognitive Science, Xiamen University, China Advisor, Singularity University and Singularity Institute [email protected] "My humanity is a constant self-overcoming" -- Friedrich Nietzsche ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/8660244-d750797a Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
