The Wired article linked in the Kurzweil letter on Baxter is a great
article. It makes clear the need for an AGI robot (wh. Baxter isn't yet) -
"the average lifetime bill for [programming and operating] an industrial
robot is half a million dollars or more."
[This, Matt, is an area where you can do real calculations about the
potential value of an AGI robot]
" Priced at $22,000, it’s in a different league compared with the $500,000
total bill of its predecessors. It is as if those established robots, with
their batch-mode programming, are the mainframe computers of the robot
world, and Baxter is the first PC robot"
This is where AGI will happen, and change the world, while those tripping on
wild hallucinations about human, language-using AGI's, will still be
wondering decades later whether JOHN LOVES MARY. This too is a vast real
potential market, for both industry and the general public.
