He wrote a whole book about it and I read a large portion of it. It is not at all helpful if you are trying to build AI. It would be helpful if it gave some insight into how the brain solves hard problems like vision and language. But he doesn't. He just claims it all depends on consciousness, even though he has no idea what it is. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- 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
