Calum, thank you for your presence. I was requesting an author to help our cause earlier, even contacted C. Doctorow and Charles Stross, Stross got back to me saying he's moving on to urban fantasy. What we need is a public campaign, similar to the one which started all the negativity in the first place. Stories, they are what fill peoples imaginations. Stories require a problem, so earlier stories the AGI was the problem, we need to write books where AGI is the solution, where both humans and (AGI) robots have common problems, and work together to find solutions. We need to paint a picture of a future where robots and humans are co-operating and working together to maintain our planet and further our civilization. There can of course be some conflict between robots and humans, akin to racism, or sexism, though it is best to recognize it as such, that while different we bring our own special complementary abilities. The working through of these issues and achieving greater states of co-operation can be useful subplots to program readers to do likewis. Stories are in and of themselves "conversational hypnosis", nested stories especially. People suspend disbelief when they experience a story, and it programs them on the inside, they identify with some characters and take upon themselves their traits. The most important message is at the deepest level of nesting. I'm working on SPEL (Speakable Programming for Every Language), the aim to is bring together all peoples regardless of linguistic background to be able to collaborate together in communication, problem solving, and AGI co-creation. If it is a project which is participated in by millions, then at least millions will support it, as well as most of their friends and relations. Another thing that SPEL allows is that story written in it is instantly translateable to all supported languages (currently 20+) so makes it readable (with some practice) to billions of people. So the best way I see, is to capture the imagination of the planet, to see a world where we work together, to accomplish great things. from Logan ya ------------------------------------------- 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
