I probably misunderstand you first time. I thought you meant that this massive amount of up-front efforts must be made in single project. But you probably don't mean that, right? I agree that there is massive amount of up-front effort required for delivering AGI. But this amount can be split into separate pieces. All these pieces can be done in separate projects (weak AI projects). Every such project can have its own business sense and would be able to pay for themselves. Good example of such weak AI project would be Google. That's why I claim that huge up-front investment can be avoided, even though there is massive amount of up-front efforts. Do you agree? > Billions of dollars would be exactly what I need: I have a need for a > large bank of parallelized exploration machines, and I have a need for > large numbers of research assistants to undertake specific tasks. That's what you need, but would that guarantee AGI delivery? ----- 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=67379640-47fb6b
