Wow, that's a pretty strong response there, Matt. Friends of yours?
If I were in control of such things, I wouldn't DARE walk out of a lab and
announce results like that. So I have no fear of being the one to bring
that type of criticism on myself. But, I'm just as vulnerable as any of us
to ha

I remember reading awhile back that certain Japanese vending machines
dispensing adult-only materials actually employed such age-estimation
software for a short time, but quickly pulled it after discovering that
teens were thwarting it by holding magazine covers up to the camera. No

Dear AGI folk,
I am testing my registration on the system,, saying an inaugural 'hi'
and seeking guidance in respect of potential submissions for a
presentation spot at the next AGI conference.
It is time for me to become more visible in AGI after 5 years of
research and reprogramming my brai
In terms of a paper submission to AGI-09, I think that your option 4 would
be of the most interest to the audience there. By and large it's not a
"philosophy of AI" crowd so much as a "how to build an AI" crowd...
I am also organizing a workshop on machine consciousness that will be in
Hong Kong
The foundation of the human mind and system is that we can only be in one
place at once, and can only be directly, fully conscious of that place. Our
world picture, which we and, I think, AI/AGI tend to take for granted, is
an extraordinary triumph over that limitation - our ability to concei
yah, I discuss this in chapter 2 of "The Hidden Pattern" ;-) ...
the short of it is: the self-model of such a mind will be radically
different than that of a current human, because we create our self-models
largely by analogy to our physical organisms ...

Colin:
1) Empirical refutation of computationalism...
.. interesting because the implication is that if anyone
doing AGI lifts their finger over a keyboard thinking they can be
directly involved in programming anything to do with the eventual
knowledge of the creature...they have already failed.
I think either way - computers or robots - a distributed entity has to be
looking at the world from different POV's more or less simultaneously, even if
rapidly switching. My immediate intuitive response is that that would make the
entity much less "self-ish" -much more open to merging or unitin
Hi Ben,
Excellent. #4 it is. I'll proceed on that basis. I can't get funding
unless I present...and the timing is perfect for my PhD, so I'll be
working towards that.
Hong Kong sounds good. I assume it's the "Toward a Science of
Consciousness 2009" I'll chase it up. I didn't realise it was i

You are right. That is exactly what I am proposing.

Hi Mike,
I can give the highly abridged flow of the argument:

manipulation. In particular the 'digital computer' as we know it.
2) The refutation happens in one highly specific circumstance. In being
false in that circumstan
1. We feel ourselves not exactly at a single point in space. Instead, we
identify ourselves with our body which consist of several parts and which
are already at different points in space. Your eye is not at the same place
as your hand.
I think this is a proof that a distributed AGI will not need
