Running experiments aimed at teaching you, the developer, useful things about your system is one thing... Running experiments aimed at impressing others, is a different thing... Of course we have run OpenCog component code on many example problems to learn what it does.... A couple simple examples of Fishgram and Link2Atom were presented in papers at the AGI-12 conference, for example... I understand that we do not yet have impressive examples of the whole OpenCog system using its integrated intelligence to carry out intelligent behaviors. Having folks like you repeatedly point this out, doesn't actually make progress faster... Building AGI is a complicated process; OpenCog is a big design being implemented and specified-in-detail by a small team with various distractions... The attitude expressed by you, Tintner and others that our progress is held back because we are ignorant of basic science, engineering or testing methodology -- is pretty absurd.... But I'm not going to waste much time arguing with you people about it ;p ... too much work to do... -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- 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
