AGI doesn't do anything with the question, you do. You answer the question by implementing Friendly AI. FAI is the answer to the question. > If you can't guarantee Friendliness, then self-modifying approaches to > AGI should just be abandoned. Do we agree on that? More or less, but keeping in mind that "guarantee" doesn't need to be a formal proof of absolute certainty. If you can't show that a design implements Friendliness, you shouldn't implement it. One can't say anything about the whole open-ended class of designs like "self-modifying approaches" though. -- Vladimir Nesov [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://causalityrelay.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=111637683-c8fa51 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
