Actually, I remember reading something about scientists finding a list structure in the brain of a bird singing a song (a moving pointer to the next item in a list sort of thing). But whatever. It's not a very low level model, but the lower level activation is implied. When you imagine a

Matt, Thanks for the paper. Some random comments: *. If RSI is possible, then it is critical that the initial goals of the first iteration of agents (seed AI) are friendly to humans and that the goals not drift through successive iterations. As I commented on Ben's paper recently, here the

Pei, thanks for the comments. I posted an updated version of the paper to http://www.mattmahoney.net/rsi.pdf I also found a bug in my RSI program and posted a revised version (which is also easier to read). My original program did not depend on input t, so according to my definition, it did
