Yes, I limited it to fixed dimension cubes to make it as simple as possible. If you do not have the computer science to solve that problem then you also do not have the computer science to solve AGI. The general solution to this problem is necessary, but not sufficient, to reason about the physical world. This is useful because you can prove the capabilities of an AGI design without proving that the design is actually AGI. This gets to a big problem with AGI: how do you invalidate someone’s proposed AGI design given that it is virtually impossible for anyone to agree on what an AGI architecture needs to look like? The popular definition of AGI is so fuzzy that design propositions are not falsifiable. So everyone claims their ideas for AGI are the One True Way. Whether or not a design is AGI, you can show concrete things about the computer science expressiveness of the design as a generic piece of software. There is a laundry list of basic capabilities that most people can agree must be tractably expressible in AGI even if they can’t agree on the definition of AGI. Any discussion of e.g. graph cutting algorithms does not have much room for magical thinking. You propose a design, I immediately go through a list of computer science problems that restrict capabilities and expressiveness to see which ones apply. It is hard to ignore the basic computer science problems even if you are in love with your design. I do the same thing for software that has nothing to do with AGI. It is the fastest way to get at the heart of the matter without attacking the larger claims. ------------------------------------------- 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
