An excellent question. I don't think there's any long term need for AGI to follow evolution's path, and there are certainly some benefits to eschewing that approach. However, I don't think we're yet at a point in which we can afford to ignore the structure of the brain as a rubric. It seems to make the most sense that if we are going to develop an AGI that we can communicate with and understand, there's no reason to start from scratch. -Brad ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
