Hmmm.... I'm not sure why the notion of "free market" necessarily applies here. The market economy is a manifestation of a particular phase of human history, not necessarily relevant to future AI systems. Also, once AI's are truly intelligent and autonomous, they won't be relying on human specifications anymore, at least not directly.... I agree that our idealistic descriptions will not be too relevant to their behaviors however. -- Ben G ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
