The environmental complexities are different. NYC has been there for hundreds of years. Human brain has been in nature for hundreds of thousands of years. A manmade environment for AGI is custom made in the beginning; we don't just throw it out on the street or into the jungle. It can start off in a featureless box, with an Ethernet cable going in that is.
From: Derek Zahn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] John Rose: > Which actual world, a natural or manmade? Both, at least up to the present day. In my opinion (though I know from your previous post that you don't agree), I don't see a huge difference in the environmental complexity of the land on which New York City sits now vs 1000 years ago. I did not grow up, nor do I live, in a mostly featureless box. I do agree with your more general point that SOME of the brain's functionality does not have to be duplicated in silicon to achieve AGI. Whether it is a significant fraction, and whether it would need to be replaced with some other functionality, seems like a hard question to me. ------------------------------------------- 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=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
