Really, is self replicating robots the only way to make AGI? But my original question. What would you do with a single human-level intelligence? Play it against Watson or Deep Blue. Sorry, it is only human level so it loses. Submit it to the Loebner prize? Sorry, the software has to run on their computers and all it will say is "Unable to allocate 10 PB of memory". Rent it out to do work? Sorry, it costs $1000 per hour for electricity. It's cheaper to hire humans. Give away your 100M lines of code? Who has a supercomputer that could run it? This is what happened to Cyc and OpenCog. There are some initially promising results, then years of slogging away with no apparent progress, to produce something that nobody can use. All because they didn't know how to estimate the cost. > I think you are being pessimistic about your hardware estimates, but fine. > Let's talk about > hardware then.

Shrinking transistors like we always have is not going to work. To get a factor of 10^5 improvement you would need to make them smaller than atoms. So where are the hardware designs that we need? -- -- 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-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
