It is not now. I think it will be in 30 years. If I was to describe the Internet to you in 1978 I think you would scoff too. We were supposed to have flying cars and robotic butlers by now. How could Google make $145 billion by building an index of something that didn't even exist? Just what do you want out of AGI? Something that thinks like a person or something that does what you ask it to? -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- 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
