Yudkowsky recently wrote an email on "preservation of the absurdity of the future." The method that I have proposed requires this massive international effort and maybe can only be started when we hit a few more billion births. It is not entirely absurd, however, since we would start the project with investigation methods known today and slowly improve until we have millions of people researching the millions of varied pathways in the brain. From what I have read of Novamente today, Goertzel might be hoping that the circuits in the brain are ultimately simple, or that some similar model that has simpler components building up to some greater actor-exchange medium, effectively mimics the brain to some degree. - Bryan ----- 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=64423497-d1a153
