[agi] Re: Instead_of_an_AGI_Textbook Challenge !!

2008-03-26 Thread Ben Goertzel
Ah, one more note...

Due to its location on the AGIRI wiki, the Instead_of_an_AGI_Textbook
automatically links into the Mind Ontology

http://www.agiri.org/wiki/Mind_Ontology

that I created in a fit of mania one weekend a couple years ago.

So, just remember that if you decide to add content to the non-textbook,
rather than just links, you can link it into the Mind Ontology, expand
the Mind Ontology, etc.

The idea of the Mind Ontology was to create a unified common vocabulary
for AGI thinkers/researchers...

It didn't really work because almost no one paid attention, but it was a sort
of fun weekend ;-)

  However, I have a challenge for y'all

  There are something like 400 people subscribed to this list...

  If 25 of you spend 30 minutes each, during the next week, adding
  relevant content to the non-textbook wiki page ... then at the end
  of the week we will have a pretty nice knowledge resource for
  newbies to AGI.

  And we will probably all learn something from following up each
  others' references ...

  And then I'll save a lot of time during the next year, because when
  someone emails me and asks me what they should read to get
  up to speed on the general thinking in the AGI field, I'll just point
  them to the non-textbook ;-)

2008-03-26 Thread Matthew Henderson
Hey Ben, I really appreciate this idea.  I recently became very interested
in the Singularity, AI, etc.  I very much enjoy the discussions that go on
in these threads, but rarely know what is going on.  I'm really hoping to
learn everything there is to know from the ground up.
