2b) Another thing we can do is to patent our designs and algorithms (so there will be a grace period of 1 year between disclosing something on our forums and patenting it).
I don't think patenting algorithms is a good thing - algorithms are essentially ideas, and ideas should not be treated as property. All in all, we aim to be the *best* AGI project and our reward system will
be very generous and fair. That'll make it quite unnecessary and unlikely for people to start competing projects, *given* the great difficulties of starting them.
Yes, I think this is a better philosophy - make it so that contributing to the existing project is a more attractive proposition than starting a bunch of separate incompatible projects. ----- 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/?member_id=231415&user_secret=e9e40a7e
