How can something that's never before been attempted be considered "a thoroughly-discredited strategy"? I.e., creating an AI system system designed for *general learning and reasoning* (one with AGI goals clearly thought through to a greater degree than anyone has attempted previously: http://opencog.org/wiki/OpenCogPrime:Roadmap ) and then carefully and deliberately progressing that AI through Piagetan-inspired inspired stages of learning and development, all the while continuing to methodically improve the AI with ever more sophisticated software development, cognitive algorithm advances (e.g. planned improvements to PLN and MOSES/Reduct), reality modeling and testing iterations, homeostatic system tuning, intelligence testing and metrics, etc. One might well have said in early 1903 that the concept of powered flight was "a thoroughly-discredited strategy." It's just as silly to say that now [about Goertzel's approach to AGI] as it would have been to say it then [about the Wright brothers' approach to flight]. -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
