You need smarter programs. So why wouldn't you build such? Start with weak AI programs. That would push technology envelope further and further and in the end AGI will be possible. >> Any successful AGI prototype would attract investors anyway. > At this time, we still need investors spending money to develop prototypes. If developing prototype requires significant investments -- that means that technology is not ready yet for full scale AGI yet.

What disastrous problems that cannot be solved without AGI are you referring to? ----- 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=8660244&id_secret=67372960-53c956
