Like Elihu, I'm also a lurker on this list. I'm almost finished undergrad at UVa in Music and Economics: My main interest is the blossoming Neo-Luddite a cappella movement. After I graduate, I will enter that sphere at an audio engineer, although hopefully I will continue work as a musicologist and avant-garde composer. Much of my interest in music involves the level of incorporation of technology into music: the paradox of the recorded (or mic'ed) acoustic or a cappella performances, for instance.
I have almost no technical experience with AGI. The fact that I'm lurking this list should be encouraging: Although the AI field has had a nefarious history, there really is a resurgence of interest. We've seen hype and crash in technology countless times (from the very painful experience of flying your dot.com into the ground to Vista's voice recognition demos). I want to encourage you all: Although we all (even a musician) have strong opinions about AGI, we mostly agree - else we wouldn't be on this list! http://myspace.com/ptiff I'll compose something for you AGI guys sometime.

Right now i'm a freshman in college pursuing an electrical engineering degree with a leaning towards CS. My interest in AGI started a few years ago and has recently started to grow rapidly, to the point that I now hope to enter a career involved in either AGI programming or neural interfacing work. I'm still at the stage that i don't know enough to contribute to mailing lists like this and sl4, but enjoy learning and hope it won't be to long before I can participate in research and discussions like those that populate this list.
