At the current stages this may be true, but it should be remembered that

John,
I kind of like the idea of building software that then builds AGI.

It totally depends on the design. When you write your narrow AI app you use
Linas:
I find it telling that no one is saying I've got the code, I just need to
scale it up
1000-fold to make it impressive ...
Yes, that's an accurate comment. Novamente will hopefully reach that
point in a few years.
For now, we will need (and use) a lotta machines for commercial product
A few days ago there was some discussion on this list about the potential
usefulness of narrow AI to AGI.
Nick Cassimatis, who is speaking at AGI 2008, has something he calls Polyscheme
which is described partially at the following AGIRI link:
http://www.agiri.org/workshop/Cassimatis.ppt
Cassimatis's system is an interesting research system ... it doesn't yet have
lotsa demonstrated practical functionality, if that's what you mean by
work...
He wants to take a bunch of disparately-functioning agents, and hook
them together
into a common framework using a common logical

My point is that massive funding without having a prototype prior to

If prototype cannot be created at reasonably low cost then fully working

most likely cannot be created even with massive funding.
Well, this seems to dissolve into a

Jiri,
AGI is IMO possible now but requires very different approach than narrow
AI.
AGI requires properly tune some existing narrow AI technologies,
combine them together and may be add couple of more.
That's massive
Dennis,
Could you give an example of such problem?
For example figuring out country's foreign policies to protect the
best interest of the nation (considering short long term
consequences).
Sorry for not responding to some of the stuff you wrote recently. I'm
deep in coding mood in these days
