How do you figure that training will cost more than designing, building and operating AGIs? Unlike a training a human, training an AGI for a specific task need occur only once, and that training can be copied 'for free' from AGI-mind to AGI-mind. If anything, training AGIs will cost ludicrously *less* than training humans. Training the first few generations of AGI individuals (and their proto-AGI precursors) may be more expensive than training human individuals, but the training cost curve (assuming training for only the same things that humans can do, not for extra-human skills) will eventually approach zero as this acquired knowledge is freely shared, FOSS-style, among the community of AGIs (of course, this view assumes a soft takeoff). -dave ------------------------------------------- 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
