You could build a robot to present the paper for you. This would solve 3 problems. First, it would give you something interesting to present. Second, you could launch a Singularity. Third, you wouldn't have to worry about radioactive fallout. But seriously, you normally have to present accepted papers in person at conferences and pay the conference fees. That's how they cover their costs. If you don't want to present, then you can publish to a journal like JAGI. But it is usually harder to get a paper accepted by a journal than a conference. -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
