I agree with this as far as it goes; certainly, progress in integrating separately optimized AI components that has hitherto been somewhere between minimal and nonexistent. And one solution is to develop a set of components as part of a system. Another solution, which I'm currently looking at, is to develop a way to turn code into procedural knowledge, so that separately optimized components can be used in new contexts their programmers did not envisage. ------------------------------------------- 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
