Before I would join an AGI project like YKY suggests, I would want to see the following:
1. A project goal. "AGI" is too vague. Do you want to build a better search engine, or a robot that will babysit your kids? 2. A realistic design. YKY's approach, as I understand it, is centered around a structured knowledge base. This approach has been tried many times and has always failed. YKY has not given me any reason to believe that his design addresses the cause of these failures. Representing structured knowledge is easy. Adding on language, vision, mobility, etc. is hard. 3. Enough hardware to make it happen. I don't believe one PC will do it. A million might. Exactly how much I don't know, and it depends on the answer to question 1 anyway. It is too soon to be talking about licenses and patents. We do not yet have any ideas worth stealing. What is needed now is basic research. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- 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/?member_id=231415&user_secret=e9e40a7e
