The problem with all traditional knowledge bases (CYC too) it is still all meaningless symbols for the processing computer program, processed according to relational rules in the KB, which are all entered by _human beings_. An AI would need to develop it's own KB, like a child - we all have ou

Matt, I agree w/ your question... I actually think KB's can be useful in principle, but I think they need to be developed in a pragmatic way, i.e. where each item of knowledge added can be validated via how useful it is for helping a functional intelligent agent to achieve some interesting goals.
