Hi Bob, You said:
The human mind actually doesn't scale all that well (just look at how dysfunctional large corporations or government agencies can become) I am relying on the contrary for ultimately deploying a vast multitude of collaborating Texai instances. Like James Albus, I believe that a hierarchical control system is an architecture for intelligent systems. Furthermore, I want to situate Texai agents within human-like organizations, at first by simply providing helpful proxies for the human participants in existing human organizations. Unlike yourself, who observes dysfunctional anomalies for some large enterprises, in contrast I am comforted by the degree of achievement that a large team obtains when working in concert. A salient example is the design, testing, and production of a modern microprocessor by Intel, AMD or IBM. Imagine the organization chart of such a team. What are the roles and the reporting structure? What formal and informal hierarchies exist? How are the standard operating procedures revised? How are bottlenecks identified and overcome? I believe that the study of human organizations is very pertinent to large-scale AGI. Perhaps the dysfunctions you observe can thus be prevented in large-scale AGI. Cheers. -Steve Stephen L.

I hope Hugo de Garis was taking notes because that could be something which he might be able to build an architecture around. The human mind actually doesn't scale all that well (just look at how dysfunctional large corporations or government agencies can become) and most of us have only a small working memory capacity (as in the magical number seven plus or minus one). I wonder whether there are any hyperspherical properties of combinator trees built from neural relays. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?&; Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
