Absolutely. It doesn't have to be human intelligence resources, though. > And evolution certainly had that. Yes, but if any kid can buy a system with Avogadro number of switches, and large corporations 10^6 of that, no reason why we can't breed AI starting from an educated guess (a spiking network of automata controlling virtual co-evolving critters). That future is some 30-50 years remote. Dedicated massively parallel emulation hardware can provide superrealtime factors of >10^6, maybe even 10^9. And we can make the fitness function a lot more focused than the weak drive inherent to predator/prey co-evolution. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
