Stepping back for a moment to be able to see better what is being said. It's a jumble out there. Any computational solution would require a technology stack for every purpose to be achieved. Arguing over which technology fits best into an AGI stack, seems unproductive at this stage. Technology

Please, no blockchain in AI... it really doesn't help anything. Cheers, Stefan On 16 June 2018 at 14:45, wrote: > Distributed decentralized autonomous AGI, temporal memory, lossy = > forgetting even just dropping blocks, some memory on-chain some off. > On-chain slower more secure, off-chain
