Stefan,
I would prefer that you not remain quiet. I would prefer that you pick
*specific* points and argue them -- that's the way that science is done. The
problem is that AGI is an extremely complex subject and mailing lists are a
horrible forum for discussing such unless all participants are both qualified
and willing to follow certain rules and assumptions. I'd love to throw a
number of people of this list for making baseless proclamations and not
defending them but you generally tend not to make broad, baseless statements
(the current thread excluded ;-). I *AM* intending to write more to clarify my
view of Richard's point but I'm frantically trying to finish a paper due May
15th that is eating up all my spare time at the moment. Remind me late next
week if it doesn't appear.
Mark

step back and be quiet then. It is too often that people stay quite and let
stuff like this slide.
Sorry, Stefan, but I disagree strongly with you. Richard has an extremely
valid point that is obscured by his explanations and personality.
Almost every practitioner of AGI is currently looking for intelligence
under a streetlight when every indication is that it is in the darkness less
than 10 years off (reasonably close to where Texai is curently headed).
Mark - thanks for sharing your point of view. I respect that and will - true
to my word - be quiet now.
