A single AGI should be able to use different sets of biases and heuristics in different contexts, and do so simultaneously (i.e. multiple concurrent areas of hyper-focus, each with its own context, assuming the AGI is running on powerful enough hardware). This ability is clearly pointed in the direction of *greater* generality. The PLN book hints that this scenario is forseen and planned for in the design of PLN; future revisions may well mention a similar example specifically, inline with Ben's related comments on this topic. -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
