I have absolutly no hope at all that any AI developed along the lines of the Friendly AI would be, in any way, compatible with my personal beleifs and aditudes. I am closer to being a transtopian singularitan and I reject the Yudowskyian version completely. As for Dr. Strangelove who, in another post, said that we should just accept being made 'obsolete' (or any other scenereo which involves the extinction of humanoid life) I have only one thing to say: Right this moment, call St. Elizabeth's and reserve yourself a room!!! Like any other technology, AI should be by humans and for humans without regards for the preferred lifestyle of said humans. -- I WANT A DEC ALPHA!!! =) 21364: THE UNDISPUTED GOD OF ALL CPUS. http://users.rcn.com/alangrimes/ [if rcn.com doesn't work, try erols.com ] ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
