I assume that you fully understand the benefits and business case of an open source project, and that your point is made even with the former fully considered. I would like to hear from others with this same point of view, and otherwise from anyone who has a idea that an open source AGI could be somehow made safe. I would respond to the proprietary AGI alternative with the observation that one may suppose, as do I, that only one AGI is safer than many, possibly opposing, AGIs. With the proprietary model, there will be a market for others to enter. On the other hand an established open source project precludes competition, e.g. only one Wikipedia. > ------- > To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily > deactivate your subscription, > please go to > http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
