Dave Hart: MT:Sorry, I forgot to ask for what I most wanted to know - what form of RSI in any specific areas has been considered?
To quote Charles Babbage, I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. The best we can hope for is that we participate in the construction and guidance of future AGIs such they they are able to, eventually, invent, perform and carefully guide RSI (and, of course, do so safely every single step of the way without exception). Dave, On the contrary, it's an important question. If an agent is to self-improve and keep self-improving, it has to start somewhere - in some domain of knowledge, or some technique/technology of problem-solving...or something. Maths perhaps or maths theorems.?Have you or anyone else ever thought about where, and how? (It sounds like the answer is, no). RSI is for AGI a v.important concept - I'm just asking whether the concept has ever been examined with the slightest grounding in reality, or merely pursued as a logical conceit.. The question is extremely important because as soon as you actually examine it, something v. important emerges - the systemic interconectedness of the whole of culture, and the whole of technology, and the whole of an individual's various bodies of knowledge, and you start to see why evolution of any kind in any area of biology or society, technology or culture is such a difficult and complicated business. RSI strikes me as a last-century, local-minded concept, not one of this century where we are becoming aware of the global interconnectedness and interdependence of all systems. ------------------------------------------- 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
