How fast could RSI plausibly happen? Is RSI inevitable / how soon will it be? How do we truly maximize the benefit to humanity?
The concept is unfortunately based on a category error: intelligence (in the operational sense of ability to get things done) is not a mathematical property of a program, but an empirical property of the program plus the real world. There is no algorithm that will compute whether a putative improvement is actually an improvement. So the answers to your questions are: (1, 2) given that it's the cognitive equivalent of a perpetual motion machine, don't hold your breath, (3) by moving on to ideas that, while lacking the free lunch appeal of RSI, have a chance of being able to work in real life. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
