Is having a strong sense of self one aspect of mature enough? Also, Dr.
Wang, do you see this as a primary way for teaching empathy. I believe Ben
has written about hardwiring the desire to work with other agents as a
possible means of encouraging empathy. Do you agree with this approach
It's interesting that the field of memetics is moribund (ex. the Journal
of Memetics hasn't published in two years) but the meme of memetics is alive
and well. I wonder, do any of the AGI researchers find the concept of Memes
useful in describing how their proposed AGIs would acquire or
I also agree. Hell, if nothing else move it to the Singularity listserv. But
I'd rather see the political discussed only in the narrow circumstances
where it's directly relevant to building an AGI or (if on the Singularity
listserv) directly related to the Singularity.
