It's pretty obvious to anyone that done any assembly programming, that without math or at least numbers nothing would actually work. Everything is represented by numbers, text, images, sounds etc.
DNA/RNA is of course also digital, has 4 letters (nucleotides), and 3 letter words (codons), representing the 22 amino acids, from which all else is assembled. Anyways, both Mike and Jim don't actually have AGI projects. There are some people that do, or at least have related-projects. So really Mike and Jim are students of AGI if anything. Pattern recognition is certainly a big component of biological intelligence, though of course it is not the only, as instinct and hard-wiring is a significant component, especially in lower brains. The DNA/RNA requires the organelles to interpret them, or match them to proper amino acids and assemble them together. Similarly the numbers no matter how patterned are only useful with the hard wired interpretation of them into text, images, sound etc. On Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 2:50 PM, Matt Mahoney <[email protected]>wrote: > On Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 1:34 PM, Mike Tintner <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > 1) Ben: I, personally, think it will be best to connect AGI systems to > robots in order to achieve human-like general intelligence....
