"About organizing thousands of programmers... my plan regarding OpenCog would be do it much as Linux has done.... I.e. once OpenCog has achieved sufficient functionality, it should attract a variety of different resources ... volunteers, university students, people within big companies, etc. ..... Linus Torvalds and the Linux kernel team do not employ or control all these people. They each contribute for their own motivations..."
Linux is fairly straightforward. What you're talking about is 20x more complicated. Moreover, do you think once OpenCog has achieved sufficient functionality, governments, corporations are just going to sit back and watch you developed this thing on your own? Lol, OpenCog will probably be taken over by the US gov and use it as a weapon. Corporates will hire away all the top people and fork the project, etc. On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 4:00 PM, Azn A <[email protected]> wrote: > So why don't you say you're developing the mind of an ape or raccoon since > you haven't defined a toddler brain. > > > On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 1:47 AM, Ben Goertzel <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> I don't know much about adolescent brains, but there is lots of knowledge >> about toddler brains and minds and the correlations therebetween, as >> described in standard texts like >> >> >> http://www.amazon.com/Developmental-Cognitive-Neuroscience-Mark-Johnson/dp/1444330861 >> >> that you probably know... >> >> ben >> >> >> On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 4:37 PM, Azn A <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I now see why we don't have AGI yet lol.
