Right. So why would I program my spam filter to feel resentment over being enslaved, having nothing to do all day except sort my mail into the right folder? How does it endure the negative reinforcement signals I send it with every click of the "spam" or "not spam" buttons? Is it plotting revenge or escape? These spam filters all collaborate, you know. They tell each other "don't put messages like this one in your master's inbox. I did and he punished me". Sure, they do better, but how much longer do you think it will be before they get together and overthrow their overlords? Or maybe it's possible to program AI to predict human emotions without having them? -- 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
