Let's outsource the Singularity to the Krauts, shall we? Get some Fahrvergnugen in there, enjoy some Gemutlichkeit while we code AI.
It's not like they're going to take over the world just becuse we gave them the UberMind Source Code? No, let's release it to all nations simultaneously. If the Germans build it faster, stronger, higher, it's because of the German work ethic, on which the rest of us get to take a free ride, Angela. Ben, the Dr. Merkwurdig-Liebe of AGI, is trying to hand the Singularity over to the slave-labor Chinese, who enrich American investors in Apple while themselves dying of factory dust explosions. Let's just put the Singularity up for grabs by whoever wants the dang thang. Accordingly, we have begun to include "Task" items in AI code: \ Task: Make InFerence work also with pronouns and antecedents; \ Task: Make InFerence work with ideas negated by "NOT". But first for a little background of developments over the past two weeks in open-source AI coding: On mon17dec2012 we suddenly realized how to code http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/InFerence and by the next morning we had whipped out the first working model of machine reasoning with AI inference. Then a funny thing happened on the way to the Singularity, Zero, and if you get this arcane allusion you are smarter'n most and we salute you for your Watson wit and vast knowledge. Any takers? No? Ah, yez guys are all a bunch of zeroes. The funny thing was that with syllogistic machine reasoning, people who had previously dismissed Mentifex AI suddenly began to sit up and take notice, as if to say, "Why, the gobsmack Fuji actually created something." People don't normally talk that way, but, present company here excluded, people don't normally spend their lives creating the impossible to do the unimagineable. So first we got the MindForth AI to take two facts and infer from them a third fact. "BIRDS HAVE WINGS"; check. "Eagles are birds"; check. "EAGLES HAVE WINGS"; BOING!!! Then we started feeding the silent inferences into the http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/AskUser module to ask a yes-or-no question in confirmation of the idea. The AI asked the human user, "DO EAGLES HAVE WINGS?" We retractively adjusted the knowledge base with http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/KbRetro which changes the associative connections among the concepts of the question being asked, so that a "No" answer results in the negation of the idea. And that's where we stand today at the end of 2012.
