Laptops aren't TMs.
Please read the wiki entry to see that my laptop isn't a TM.
But your laptop can certainly implement/simulate a Turing Machine (which was
the obvious point of the post(s) that you replied to).
Seriously, people, can't we lose al

What you said is correct for most formal logics formulating binary

I often see it assumed that the step between "first AGI is built"
(which I interpret as a functoning model showing some degree of
generally-intelligent behavior) and "god-like powers dominating the
planet" is a short one. Is that really likely?

Oh. Well, I thought this was a basic principle, commonly cited in
microeconomics textbooks: when there's a demand, producers rush
to fill the demand. When there's

I fully understand your response --- it is typical when people
interpret NARS according to their ideas about how a formal logic
should be understood.
But NARS is VERY different. Especially, it uses a special semantics,
which defines "truth" and "meaning" in a way that is fundamentally

OK. I've read the paper, and don't see where I've made any errors. It
looks to me as if NARS can be modeled by a prototype based language with
operators for "is an ancestor of" and "is a descendant of". I do have
trouble with the language terms that you use, though admittedly they

knowledge acquisition: you have to come up with hypotheses and you

Charles,
To be concrete, let me summarize the assumptions in your previous
comments, and briefly explain why they don't apply to NARS.

The "computational complexity" or "resources expense" of NARS is
another aspect on which this system is fundamentally different from
existing systems. I understand that from the inference rules alone,
people will think it is too expensive to be actually implemented,
