Matt, I totally agree with you on Cyc and LISP. To go further, I think Cyc
is a dead end because of the assumption that intelligence is dependent on a
vast store of knowledge, basically represented in a semantic net.
Intelligence should start with the learning of simple patterns in images and

John,One of the major obstacles to real AI is the belief
thatknowledge ofa natural language is necessary for
intelligence.I agree. And it's IMO nearly impossible for AGI to learn/understand NL when its only info source is NL. We get some extra [meta] data from our senses when learning NL (which

The AGI really does need to be able to read and write english or another natural language to be decently useful, people are just NOT goign to learn or be impressed with a machine that spurts out something incoherent (which they already can do)It is suprising how little actuall semantic ambiguity
Forgot to add there is a large amount of syntactic and Word sense disambiguity, but there are some programs out there that handle that to a remarkable extent as well, and I believe can be improved upon.And for many tasks, I dont see any reason not to have some back and forth feedback in the loop

IBM's system [high thermal conductivity interface technology], while not yet ready for commercial production, is reportedly so efficient that officials expect it will double cooling efficiency.

Perhaps there is a shortcut to all of this.
Provide the AGI with the hardware and software to jack into one or more human
brains and let the bio-software of the human brain be the language interface development tool.
I think we are creating some of this the hardware.
This also puts AGI in a

Jacking into the human brain? That is hardly
a shortcut to AGI,
