Just for the record: To put it mildly, not everyone is 'Absolutely' sure that AGI can't be implemented on Bill's computer.
In fact, some of us are pretty certain that that (a) current hardware is adequate, and (b) AGI software will be with us in (much) less than 10 years. Some people may be very, very surprised. -----Original Message----- From: Eugen Leitl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2007 9:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [singularity] AI concerns On Sun, Jul 01, 2007 at 11:11:06PM +1000, Stathis Papaioannou wrote: > But in the final analysis, the AI would be able to be implemented as > code in a general purpose language on a general purpose computer with Absolutely not. Possibly, something like a silicon compiler with billions to trillions asynchronous systems. Certainly not your grandfather's computer. > sufficient storage.

You have to go asynchronous OOP, and fine-grained sea of gates. Even current approaches are 3d torus of nodes of microkernel OS, soon with FPGAs & Co. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=7d7fb4d8
