I don't think this is an accurate paraphrase of Mike's statement. "X is secret sauce" implies X to be _both necessary and sufficient_ (or at least that the other ingredients are trivial compared to X) - a type of claim AI has certainly seen plenty of. But Mike's claim, if I understand it correctly, is that visual/spatial capability is necessary but not sufficient for AGI. (A position I also hold.) ------------------------------------------- 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
