Hi AGI folk, Following that flurry of activity (IGI etc) earlier this year I became bogged down in the final stages of a family matter involving an unresolved Will. That matter has now been put to bed. It took 8 months all up and was very unpleasant.
Having returned to see what the personal AGI detritus looked like I reviewed where I am and decided to act. Bottom line: I have turned the garage into a robotics AGI lab from which this email is being written. That took another huge effort. I have written up the natural-AGI, analytic-AGI, synthetic-AGI 1950s science cockup and am looking at publishing it. I expect to be ignored. I am so over all the BS related to the science. Frankly the journal system can shove it. Real science left the building long ago. I don't need to publish to make the damned robots. I plan to get the young involved and let them run with it. I seem to have reached the 60 year-old curmudgeon stage and am not taking prisoners. I really appreciated all the enthusiasm over the IGI and am sorry but I cannot play. The one thing it told me is that I think the synthetic-AGI approach's time has come after 65 years in hiatus. Life's too short to spend any more time on endless gabfests and making clubhouses and their acolytry ... When I am done, if it works, the robots will demonstrate themselves. If they don't well screw it. I tried. So I am going off the radar (intermittent passive list lurking maybe forever) except for a shop-front www.bionicbrain.info blog series to keep the end-game branding active for funding purposes. If I am visibly back, ever, it will be in the company of some kind of shambolic bespoke robot(s) with a distributed synthetic-AGI brain festooned all over them. It will have taught itself everything it knows and there won't be a line of code in it that relates to its intelligence or its knowledge. That's what a real AGI looks like. Physics. I hope that the robots will attract the funding needed to transform them beyond a garage hack. Who knows? So until then ... all the best ... cheers colin ------------------------------------------- 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
