Mike Tintner, et al,
After failing to get ANY response to what I thought was an important
point (*Paradigm Shifting regarding Consciousness) *I went back through
my AGI inbox to see what other postings by others weren't getting any
responses. Mike Tintner was way ahead of me in no-response postings.
A quick scan showed that these also tended to address high-level issues
that challenge the contemporary herd mentality. In short, most people on
this list appear to be interested only in HOW to straight-line program
an AGI (with the implicit assumption that we operate anything at all
like we appear to operate), but not in WHAT to program, and most
especially not in any apparent insurmountable barriers to successful
open-ended capabilities, where attention would seem to be crucial to
ultimate success.
Anyone who has been in high-tech for a few years KNOWS that success can
come only after you fully understand what you must overcome to succeed.
Hence, based on my own past personal experiences and present
observations here, present efforts here would seem to be doomed to fail
- for personal if not for technological reasons.
Normally I would simply dismiss this as rookie error, but I know that at
least some of the people on this list have been around as long as I have
been, and hence they certainly should know better since they have
doubtless seen many other exuberant rookies fall into similar swamps of
programming complex systems without adequate analysis.
Hey you guys with some gray hair and/or bald spots, WHAT THE HECK ARE
YOU THINKING?
I was thinking that your previous commentary was a stream of
consciousness jumble that made no sense.
You also failed to address my own previous response to you: I basically
said that you make remarks as if the whole of cognitive science does not
exist. That kind of position makes me want to not take any notice of
your comments.
