Jim: So if a goal is clearly definable (for an AGi program)... No goals are clearly definable in AGI – at the program level as opposed to in particular situations. What are the goals of real world activities – like conversation/ reading [science/lit..] books..? You can set goals in particular situations ... “I want Chinese tonight” But in general, it would be suicidal and isn’t possible. AGI is about creative machines dealing with a creative world – in which both the machine and the world keep changing, and there is no way of predicting what food (or other goal instantiations) will be available, or what of the vast untried number of cuisines might be worth sampling, or what condition/state your body will be in and therefore what foods it will be attracted to . The goals of an AGI have to be general, vague and capable of continuous refinement - and new combinations with other goals.
