I do think it's possible a Cyc approach could work if one had a few billion rules in there -- but so what? ("Work" meaning: together with a logic engine, serve as the seed for an AGI that really learns and understands) It's clear that the mere millions of rules in their KB now are VASTLY inadequate in terms of scale... Similarly, AIXItl or related approaches could work for AGI if one had an insanely powerful computer -- but so what AGI approaches that "could work, in principle" if certain wildly infeasible conditions were met, are not hard to come by ... ;=) -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=95818715-a78a9b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
