Why a virtual world preschool and not a real one? A virtual world, if not programmed accurately, may be subtly differernet from the real world, so that for example an AGI is capable of picking up and using a screwdriver in the virtual world but not real real world, because the real world is more complex. If you want your AGI to be able to use a screwdriver, you probably need to train it in the real world (at least some of the time). If you don't care whether your AGI can use a screwdriver, why have one in the virtual world? -- Philip Hunt, <cabala...@googlemail.com> Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
