Matt, as you well know, OpenCog is not trying to emulate the human brain in detail, so that detailed calculations of computational requirements based on the human brain are not directly relevant
In a similar way, you could prove airplanes can't fly by tabulating the number of computations implicit in the activity of a bird's cells ;p ... -- Ben G On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 11:27 AM, Matt Mahoney <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 10:15 PM, Ben Goertzel <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Then you need about a decade's worth of video to train the system.
