Well, we could, if there was any evidence whatsoever for Lamarckian evolution, and if we thought with our reproductive organs. To me, it suggests that AGI could be implemented with a 10^4 speedup over whole brain emulation -- maybe. Is it possible to emulate a sparse neural network with 10^11 adjustable neurons and 10^15 fixed, random connections using a non-sparse neural network with 10^11 adjustable connections? -- Matt Mahoney, matmaho...@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------- 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=123753653-47f84b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
