You still have not answered my question. How would you know if Big Dog was sentient? Do you think that the only way we can solve hard problems like language, vision, robotics, and predicting human behavior is for the algorithm to also be constrained by a model of human emotions? In fact, none of the partial solutions that we have today to these problems need any such constraints. What is so hard about *not* programming a robot to have human emotions? It seems like a much easier problem to me if you don't program it to not want to do what you tell it. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
