Mike, you are mixing multiple issues. Just like my analogy of the rubix cube, full AGI problems involve many problems at the same time. The problem I wrote this email about was not about how to solve them all at the same time. It was about how to solve one of those problems. After solving the problem satisfactorily for all test cases at a given complexity level, I intend to incrementally add complexity and then continue to solve the problems I run into. Your proposed "AGI problem" is a combination of sensory interpretation, planning, plan/action execution, behavior learning, etc, etc. You would do well to learn from my approach and break the problem down into its separate pieces. You would be a fool to implement such a system without a good understanding of the sub problems. If you break it down and figure out how to solve each piece individually, while anticipating the end goal, you would have a much better understanding and have fewer problems as you develop the system because of your experience. You are philosophizing about the right way, but your approach is completely theoretical and completely void of any practical considerations. Why don't you try your method, I'll try mine, and in a few years, let's see how far we get. I suspect you'll have a very nice pong playing program that can't do anything else. I on the other hand would have a full fledged theoretical foundation and implementation on increasingly complex environments. At that point, the proof of concept would be sufficient to gain significant support. While your approach would likely be another narrow approach that can play a single game. Why? because you're trying to juggle too many separate problems that individual study. By lumping them altogether and not carefully considering each, you will not solve them well. You will be spread too thin.
