This reminds me of Rod Brooks saying that AGI may already be here but nobody
has noticed it yet. With an AGI running a nice little business for you
there may be no great incentive to advertise the fact openly to the world.

Lukasz,
Thanks for the information about Word Grammar, which for anyone else
interested, is described here,
You asked:
(4) I'm interested in how do you handle backtracking: giving up on
application of a construction when it leads to inconsistency.
Chart-based unification parsing can be optimized
Well, that's embarrassing . . . . flame somebody and realize that you got part

Good advice. There are of course sometimes people who are ahead of the
field, but in conversation you'll usually find that the genuine inovators
have a deep - bordering on obsessive - knowledge of the field that they're

Dear Fellow AGI List Members:
Just thought I'd remind the good members of this list about some strategies for
