Legg had perhaps that as his *only* purpose but, enroute, he accomplished something very important for other purposes: Provide a semantic taxonomy so he could, to use Nick Szabo's idiom "reduce the argument surface". Discourse about "Consciousness", like "Intelligence", is so riddled with emotion

Every day we kill bugs. Because we can't see them, nor do they look like us. And we can stomp on them. In fact they try to attack us. So here you have leg kicking automatically and it's not gonna end pretty. But even when they look like you, like say cows or pigs, they are put in slaughter farms

The word 'conscious' isn't even in that Paper LOL little own 'ness'. But rest assured it's just the same thing. I'll explain later what intelligence is clearer. -- Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T25

Good idea James. A lot of research going on with AGI and consciousness. Matt may want to Google around a bit to get updated. I do wonder Matt, if something is "perceptually lossless" why would you call that marketing? You can't really call it lossy can you? --
