Steve:Presuming that you do NOT want to store all of history and repeatedly analyze all of it as your future AGI operates, you must accept MULTIPLE potentially-useful paradigms, adding new ones and trashing old ones as more information comes in. Our own very personal ideas of learning and thinking do NOT typically allow for the maintenance of multiple simultaneous paradigms, cross-paradigm translation, etc.
Steve, Some odd thoughts in response to an odd but interesting post :). 1). A true AGI - incl. every living creature - has to be a SELF-EDUCATOR, s.o. who doesn't just learn, but learns how to learn, and that means 2) A true AGI also has to be a CONSUMER in every sphere of their activities - choosing from multiple available paradigms; and to be a mix of different paradigms in each area - which is healthy and inevitable. 3) Every true intelligence is, and can only be, one individual in a SOCIETY OF INTELLIGENCES.. - a consumer in an extensive MARKET of multiple ideas and paradigms.; (wouldn't anything less be un-American?) Correct me, but all the ideas of AGI's that I've seen are about INDIVIDUAL isolated minds - single superpowerful computers taking over the world, as per the sci-fi movies, that seem to have shaped everyone's thinking. Actually, that's an absurdity. The whole story of evolution tells us that the problems of living in this world for any species of creature/intelligence at any level can only be solved by a SOCIETY of individuals. This whole dimension seems to be entirely missing from AGI. ------------------------------------------- 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/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
