Re: [agi] Pretty worldchanging
Availibility of the Internet actually makes school grades worse. Of course, grades does not equal education, but I don't see anything worldchanging about education because of this. - Panu Horsmalahti --- 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=8660244id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
Re: [agi] What is so special with the number seven
2010/7/22 deepakjnath deepakjn...@gmail.com Is there any predisposition to the Number 7 and our brains? Why do we have a scale with 7 notes? Why are there 7 colors in a rainbow.? Can this relate to how we perceive things? Seven days of a week. cheers, Deepak *agi* | Archives https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ | Modifyhttps://www.listbox.com/member/?;Your Subscription http://www.listbox.com You can pick any number and find things related to it. Besides, your anecdotes may be explained with physics or musical theory, for example. I don't know anything about music theory, but it seems that the chromatic scale has 12 notes. Also, it seems that Newton named 7 colors in the Rainbow to make it match the idea of the seven note scale ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow#Distinct_colours ) - Panu Horsmalahti --- 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=8660244id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
Re: [agi] Is there any Contest or test to ensure that a System is AGI?
2010/7/18 deepakjnath deepakjn...@gmail.com I wanted to know if there is any bench mark test that can really convince majority of today's AGIers that a System is true AGI? Is there some real prize like the XPrize for AGI or AI in general? thanks, Deepak Have you heard about the Turing test? - Panu Horsmalahti --- 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=8660244id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
Re: Are rocks conscious? (was RE: [agi] Did this message get completely lost?)
2008/6/4 John G. Rose [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Actually you are on to something. Since there are patterns in the rock, molecular, granular, electronic, subatomic the rock has string of bits that represent time frame samples of consciousness recordings. So I mean if they were played with the right equipment in a certain way you might be able to extract short consciousness clip recordings. Hey wait a sec - is a string of bits that represents consciousness, conscious? Or does there have to be a victrola. Does time have to be a variable? Hm... John This is the conscious rainstorm argument, which says that if information alone can create conscious experience then it can lead to 'absurd' results, like only a tiny-tiny-ultra-tiny-tiny portion of conscious experience is created by real brains. --- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com

Re: [agi] my project
Perhaps people are more interested in the design of this AGI project, and the likelyhood of it ever creating an human-level AGI. Also, are design changes chosen democratically, by a leader/lead designer (you?), or how? I'm also concerned, that too much time (man-hours if you will) is spend determining the 'contributions'/rating code, relative to the time spend actually creating the AGI. - This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415user_secret=e9e40a7e

Re: [agi] AGI Taxonomy
I don't think intelligence can be measured that easily on a one dimensional axis, with a dot marking the intelligence of humans. If you look at all the possible intelligences, not just the organic ones we know of, measuring intelligence becomes extremely difficult. Measuring the intelligence of humans has been difficult in the past and so far we pretty much only have IQ (meaning logical tasks) test. Many have opposed this, saying that intelligence (in humans) is really something more than simple logic. Emotional intelligence,etc. If measuring the intelligence in VERY SIMILAR systems (compared to the vast 'mind design space') is difficult, then measuring all intelligences must be near impossible (unless someone can pull out that magic definition of intelligence). It also seems *very* human-centric to compare everything to humans.. Maybe measuring intelligence is like measuring how good a tool is. It depends on what you need it for. 2007/5/9, J. Storrs Hall, PhD. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: In Beyond AI I have a taxonomy (and Kurzweil picked that chapter, among others, to post on his site). in brief: Hypohuman AI -- below human ability and under human control Diahuman AI -- somewhere in the human range (which is large!) Epihuman AI -- smarter/more capable than human, but equivalent to a moderate-sized company (of very smart people) Hyperhuman AI -- equivalent to or better than all humans working in a given subject area and two involving a design stance rather than a capability level Parahuman AI -- designed to work alongside humans and relate Allohuman AI -- optimized for other things in ways that humans have a harder time relating to Josh On Wednesday 09 May 2007 06:14, John G.

There are probably very few AGIs but many close AGIs and then many, many AIs. Software programs are like the plant and animal kingdom since they breed and multiply and evolve...

Re: [agi] Circular definitions of intelligence
In my opinion the definition of intelligence is a machine that has an input and an output. It covers all the intelligent systems you can imagine, but also things like thermostats. I think it is too human centric to think that a thermostat is not intelligent because it doesn't have legs and it can't do much. It is very stupid (if you think it is possible to rate intelligence), but still, it can be viewed as an intelligent system. Intelligence really means many, many things and I'm not really that interested in a strict mathematical definition. It reminds me of all the philosophers who have debated for thousands of years on the definition of love, art and such. In the end, no definition is more correct than any other. You can build an AGI without really knowing what intelligence is, just like you can paint beautiful art without knowing some strict definition of art. - This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415user_secret=fabd7936
