Lossless compression of satellite photos of the Earth is equivalent to weather forecasting, but with less complete information. Lossless compression of the video appearing on my monitor as it displays encrypted data is equivalent to breaking the encryption. Lossless compression of a movie requires modeling both the brains and the bodies of the people in it. AGI only requires modeling the brains. Lossless compression in general is not computable. AGI is, because we all have a computer that implements it. -- 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=8660244&id_secret=49582437-b5ff7e
