We still have multiple severe fundamental problems with creating and manipulating models of the world: It's still hard to wrap up into one big ball the fact that blob 42 in the visual field is a human face and its name is billy-joe-bob and the last thing bliiy said was foobar, which implies that billy believes that foobar. This is well beyond what we can do from first principles. But, many corporations, e.g. advertisers e.g. cambridge analytica most infamously has developed a psychological model of hundreds of millions of Americans, and what they believe. Their model is crude, full of mistakes, and not based on first principles, but it is a model which they claim was used to elect Trump. You (or we) could hack up something like this too, but "hack up" is the keyword here: we'd rather try to be more organic, more first-principles-driven. --linas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
