What is your estimate of the quantity of all the world's knowledge? (Or the amount needed to achieve AGI or some specific goal?) Google probably keeps a copy of the searchable part of the internet in about 1 PB of RAM, but this isn't AGI yet. I suppose an internet-wide distributed system could cache about 1 EB (10^18 bytes). -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- 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=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
