So, I guess I should say, "the two commercial applications of AGI". I realize people are working on AGI today as pure research, to better understand the brain, to better understand how to solve hard problems, and so on.

Perhaps there are some applications I haven't thought of? -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- 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=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
