Dmitry:I've been thinking that putting AI on cellphones and tablets could assist the problem of exploring the real world and embodiment
Not just "assist", absolutely revolutionise the way we think about computing and intelligence. The barrier between the Plato's cave of intelligent thought about the world, and the world itself, is being smashed. Now - in principle, if not always yet in practice - you can immediately be put physically in touch with what you are thinking about, and not just have to think about it from a million mile distance. You don't have to be a brain-in-a-box anymore. Philosophising about & generally understanding the effects of "mobile"/"in touch" computing vs "box/ed"/"out of touch" computing, is v. important. (For a glaring effect of the latter see Anastasios' thread :) ) On 20 July 2013 07:26, Dimitry Volfson <[email protected]> wrote: > On 7/16/2013 4:25 PM, Jim Bromer wrote: > > I would like to create an initial feasibility test, using a text-based IO, > that would show the potential for intelligence across a broad range of > subject matters (within that IO modality.)
