I basically agree. AGI will be a continuation of evolution, but using recursive self improvement rather than biological reproduction with mutation. Evolution will continue to favor those species that are most successful at survival and reproduction in an environment with limited resources. This is not necessarily to the benefit of humans. We already have primitive examples of this - computer viruses and worms. Imagine a highly intelligent system that can analyze software, discover vulnerabilities, and exploit them to gain additional computing resources. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- 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&id_secret=34663420-2ee4ad
