Ben, Could you say a couple of words about specifics of what you found helpful and in which writings? There are plenty, and I mainly found them long-winded and unhelpful (although significant part of what I've developed so far can be charachterised as 'philosophy' of how to build an AGI, and it would have greatly helped if I could just read it). Closest thing to inspiration-generating writings that I found is basic cognitive science, and Hofstadter. -- Vladimir Nesov mailto:[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=93139505-4aa549
