This is not the problem ... regarding Novamente, we have an extremely specific business plan and details regarding how we would provide return on investment. The problem is that investors are generally pretty unwilling to eat perceived technology risk. Exceptions arise all the time, and AGI has not yet been one. It is an illusion that VC or angel investors are fond of risk ... actually they are quite risk-averse in nearly all cases... -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- singularity Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/11983/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/11983/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&id_secret=98631122-712fa4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
