Er this is a v. important dimension so far, I think, left out of the informal list of basic requirements for AGI.
The social dimension of a machine's activities - and particularly its social exchanges. In fact, if an AGI machine is to undertake and adapt to problematic activities, it will probably only be able to do so successfully as part of a group. If say an AGi robot were to undertake a difficult neo-maze, loosely as I specified, it would probably get stuck. But if there were a group, they could help each other out and learn from each other. That's what evolution tells us - we can't deal with the problematic activities of life individually, only as members of groups. If other group members don't exchange, cooperate with you, then you may need to cut them out - as the Sony robot does. (Ben, you realise the only reason we keep adding these requirements, is we figure you may be finding the going too easy & unchallenging). ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric B.

What would this behaviour be categorized as in the continuum from thermostat to human (following a previous thread)? : "Interestingly, when they're doing demonstrations, they have found that the AI in QRIO is so strong that if you haven't been friendly with it before hand, for examples, by not kicking back a football it kicks to you, it will refuse to do what you ask it in the demonstration. Effectively it is expressing its annoyance...." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
