Arthur,
There was no censorship. We all saw that message go by. We all just
ignored it. Take a hint.

There is enough VC money for everyone with
a decent business model. Honestly, most AGI
is not a decent business model.
Neither is philosophy, but philosophy prevails.
Otherwise Mentifex would be smothered in cash.
It might even keep him quiet.
I don't need cash beyond the exigencies of daily living.
Right now I'm going to respond off the top of my head
with the rather promising latest news from Mentifex AI.
ATM/Mentifex here fleshed out the initial Wikipedia stub of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_of_Mind
several years ago. M*ntifex-bashers came in and
rewrote it, but traces of my text linger still.
(And I have personally met Jerry Fodor years ago.)
Then for several years I kept the Modularity link
on dozens of mind-module webpages as a point of
departure into Wikipedia. Hordes of Wikpedia
editors worked over and over again on the
Modularity-of-mind article.
At the start of September 2007 I decided to
flesh out the Wikipedia connection for each
Mentifex AI mind-module webpage by expanding
from that single link to a "cluster" of all
discernible Wikipedia articles closely related
to the topic of my roughly forty mind-modules.
http://www.advogato.org/article/946.html
is where on 11 September 2007 I posted
"Wikipedia-based Open-Source Artificial Intelligence"
-- because I realized that I could "piggyback"
my independent-scholar AI project on Wikipedia
as a growing source of explanatory AI material.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/aima-talk/message/784
is where I suggested (and I quote a few lines):
It would be nice if future editions of the AIMA textbook
were to include some treatment of the various independent
AI projects that are out there (on the fringe?) nowadays.
Thereupon another discussant provided a link to
http://textbookrevolution.org -- a site which
immediately accepted my submission of
http://mind.sourceforge.net/aisteps.html as
"Artificial Intelligence Wikipedia-based Free Textbook."
So fortuitously, serendipitously the whole direction
of Mentifex AI changed direction in mere weeks.
http://AIMind-I.com is an example not only of
a separate AI spawned from Mentifex AI, but also
of why I do not need massive inputs of VC cash,
when other AI devotees just as dedicated as I am
will launch their own mentifex-class AI Mind
project using their own personal resources.
Now hear this. The Site Meter logs show that
interested parties from all over the world
are looking at the Mentifex offer of a free
AI textbook based on AI4U + updates + Wikipedia.
Mentifex AI is in it for the long haul now.
Not only here in America, but especially
overseas and in "third world" countries
there are AI-hungry programmers with
unlimited AGI ambition but scant cash.
They are the beneficiaries of Mentifex AI.
