The problem with working with AGI is the mass of information. Topics include in my list philosophy, physics, psychology, math, neuroscience, "narrow AI" at large, logic, sociology, linguistics, electronics, mechanics, conventional IT. There are more. That is what I have on my short list. Steve Richfield threw in accounting the other day. So there is a serious challenge for anybody, obscure eccentric inventor to established academic, of trying to stay abreast of developments. So I at least welcome leads on good ways to stay updated. A forum like this seems a good way to exchange leads.... > > -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] > > > ------------------------------------------- > AGI > Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now > RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/11943661-d9279dae > Modify Your Subscription: > https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; > Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com > ------------------------------------------- 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
