I feel I owe you a response on this but I really don't think I'm going to be joining a platform that can trace it's origins back to a DARPA mass surveilance program called "Life Log" and is run by a person who looks more like a gray than a human...
I think a good step for you would be to write better, more useful posts. Make sure that your reader can understand the context of what you are talking aobut and can follow what you are talking about even if a portion of your posts are killed by spam filters and arrive out of order. Ok, take Mahoney's post, first you have to cut out the garbage paragraph that he seems to feel obliged to insert into all of his posts. But the general idea was that we should be looking for opportunities for inceremental advancement. The problem with that approach is it leads you in the direction of Goertzelitis... The general intelligence theorem states that either you solve all problems or that any partial solutions you have aren't even relevant. I suppose it comes down to two competing theories of the brain, both recognize that the brain isn't truly general but is architected with deep biases to solve human-relevant problems in a human-like way. The first theory is that each brain region implements a general intelligence algorithm that is tied to specific inputs or outputs and that the network of these allows them to achieve higher order capabilities such as language and reasoning. The second theory is that the brain is composed of specialized areas that are not generally intelligent on their own but come together to form a system that is generally intelligent. In the first case, we should invest our time in developing the algorithm and principles of organization for general intelligence. In the second case, we would try to figure out exactly which specialized capabilities we need to implement such that more advanced capabilities can be bootstrapped. In either case, we need a framework for testing advanecd agents so that they can develop and express/utilize/grow their general intelligence. This would seem to be either a robotic platform or a virtual reality environment. Each has its own advantages and limitations. Both approaches will require tens, even hundreds, of millions of dollars of investment. The more money you want, the more you need to get it. Your basic options are: A. Be Elon Musk. (a "rock star") that investors will simply throw money because of past successes. B. Have a solid business plan and a relatively large management team of committed founders. I had hoped to assemble a team from this list but it seems everyone who actually posts here are bigger losers than even I am and I just can't get over the "yes, let's do that" hurdle that would seem to be necessary to get a team going. =\ immortal.discover...@gmail.com wrote: > On Sunday, February 09, 2020, at 8:29 PM, Alan Grimes wrote: > I'm working hard on AGI and looking for juggernauts like me who want > to get it done already.
