Re: [agi] Re: Minsky's Physics Envy

I don't think he was being sarcastic. The neocortex is a "practical approximation". An ideal specification can shed light on a field by saying "what" rather than "how". If you don't even know "what" intelligence is, you can get lost even trying to articulate "how" to go about approximating it.

More accurately, "...why there can't be an efficient implementation of general intelligence". AIXI is a pretty simple theory of intelligence precisely because AIT makes up half and the (at least as) simple sequential decision theory makes up the other half. On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 11:37 PM Matt M

Algorithmic information theory is the simple theory that explains why there isn't a simple theory of intelligence. On Tue, Jun 23, 2020, 9:34 PM John Rose wrote: > Was he being sarcastic? when he said: > "Everybody should learn all about that and spend the rest of their lives > working on it." r

Was he being sarcastic? when he said: "Everybody should learn all about that and spend the rest of their lives working on it." referring to the infinite amount of work part ...and... even the estimable part.   -- Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI P

Oh, I didn't even put it together and it was still funny! OpenAI is the academy, and Elon Musk started them off and is into space academies lol ! -- Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T60bb245c0215eb2e-M
