Yes, you're right. Intelligence depends on both knowledge and computing power. We can measure computing power in someone who can think faster or remember more than us.

You can redesign yourself or make a copy with more computing power, but not more knowledge. -- -- 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
