Re: [agi] Building a machine that can learn from experience

Colin, It is of course possible that human intelligence relies upon electromagnetic-field sensing that goes beyond the traditional five senses. However, this argument Functionally, the key behaviour I use to test my approach is scientific behaviour. If you sacrifice the full EM field, an AGI

You can't deliver any evidence at all that the processes I am investigating are invalid. True, and you can't deliver any evidence that once AGIs reach an IQ of 1000, aliens will contact them and welcome them to the Trans-Universal Club of Really Clever Beings. In fact, I won't be at all

Re: [agi] Building a machine that can learn from experience

You, like the rest of us, are incapable of discussing anything else. Email cannot carry non-algorithmic ideas or concepts. Just because you do not consider your system algorithmic does not mean that it is not. Nature is algorithmic, your chip is algorithmic, everything is algorithmic. That
