Yes, I agree, if you're talking about the leap from a precisely physically simulated bug to a precisely physically simulated human. I was thinking about the leap from an engineered artificial system with the cognitive, social and perceptual-motor capability of a bug to an engineered artificial system which has these capacities at human level. IMO, the former gap is much smaller than the latter. -- Ben G ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
