All animals have a bias that they cannot imagine something more intelligent than themselves. Your dog cannot imagine that humans are smarter than dogs. A flea on your dog cannot imagine anything smarter than another flea. This is in spite of obvious (to you) evidence to the contrary. Consider the evidence that smarter than human intelligence already exists. For example, evolution is an intelligent process that created humans from simple chemicals. Another even more obvious example is the fact that the universe exists. Why? Consider the AIXI model of universal intelligence: http://www.vetta.org/documents/ui_benelearn.pdf and http://www.hutter1.net/ai/paixi.htm The fact that Occam's Razor works suggests that the universe is or could be simulated by a computer. AIXI suggests that the simplest explanation is most likely: try all possible laws of physics until a universe supporting life is found. It takes a couple hundred bits to describe the free parameters in string theory and general relativity. Also, the universe that we occupy has a finite quantum state that would take about 10^122 bits to describe. Computing all simpler universes first would therefore require about 10^200 to 10^400 operations. I would consider such a computer to have superhuman intelligence. If you define intelligence as passing the Turing test, then I agree that you could not have a computer much smarter than human. But I don't define intelligence that way. A superhuman intelligence will be invisible, because it will have complete control over your thoughts. -- 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=77862282-ed02fd
