Richard,
Any public info about the user interface?
No, this is the part that will become public last of all.
Is it because the ideas keep evolving?
Or would it just reveal too much about your unique ideas = possibly
hurting your business if published in early stages of development?
.. or something else?
The latter. Of all the discussions I have had online, the vast majority
have been about artificial intelligence and cognitive science. But I
have also spent a good deal of time working on the problem of how
software engineers understand (ultra-)complicated systems (notice that I
use "complicated" to avoid confusion with "complex"!).
My ideas on that subject are unusual and, I believe, quite
revolutionary. What I have done is to look at the "psychology" of
software engineering and try to understand the problem as if it were
about limiting the disruption to the engineer's thought processes, and
using the parts of their psychology that, at present, are not deployed
very well.
Sorry, that was pretty cryptic. The bottom line is that I am protective
of that side of my work because in the early stages I think it will be
the breadwinner for the AGI work.
So far, the project involves only building the development environment,
which itself contains the core elements of the AGI.
Any sophisticated code-generating features?
Can you list the core elements here please?
See previous comments. This environment is very high-level beast that
can interface with lower-level facilities from many different languages
and environments. So code-generation features are not its specialty (if
what you mean by that are facilities for optimizing code generation).
I can tell you that in the first incarnation it is interfacing to the
Smalltalk environment. If you understand just how much stuff there
already is in a Smalltalk development environment, and if you bear in
mind that it does not replace much of that stuff, but (partally) adds
another layer on top of it, you might begin to see what I mean by
"high-level".
Thanks for sharing whatever you are comfortable sharing!
Joseph: Interesting... Sapphire is the name of my project.
It's hard to find a nice & unique project name in these days. One of
the reasons why I picked "GINA" (General Intelligence Narrative Agent)
name for my AGI experiment is that it's also a regular name = widely
accepted for reuse :-)
Yes, it's a problem. At least Joseph's project and mine are spelled
differently.
