The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency financed the basic
research necessary to create a processor that thinks in terms of
probabilities instead of the certainties of ones and zeros.

So we have been rebuilding probability computing from the gate level

McNamara's dictum seems on
the face of it to contradict the validity of Psychology as a

I don't think so. That in unforseen events people switch to
improvisation isn't suprising. Even an AGI, confronted with a novel
situation and lacking data and models and rules for

Have you ever taken a dispute, completely deconstructed it to determine
its structure, engineered a prospective solution, and attempted to
implement it?
No.

I suspect that this tool could work better than any AGI in the absence of
such a tool.
I see an AGI more as a support tool that collects and assesses data,
creates and evaluates hypotheses, develops goals and plans how to reach
them and assists people with advice. The

Then define your political objectives. No holes, no ambiguity, no
forgotten cases. Or does the AGI ask for our feedback during mission?
If yes, down to what detail?
With Matt's ideas it does exactly that.
How does it know when to ask? You give it rules, but those rules can

It produced many studies, many strategies, but they weren't used that
much in the daily business. It's used more as a general guide.

I wasn't thinking about winning a war, I was much more thinking about

First my answers to Antonio:
1) What is the role of Digital Evolution (and ALife) in the AGI context?
The nearest I can come up with is Goertzel's virtual pre-school idea,
where the environment is given and the proto-AGI learns within it.
It's certainly possible to place

And maths will handle the examples given :
same tunes - different scales, different instruments
same face - cartoon, photo
same logo - different parts [buildings/ fruits/ human figures]
Unfortunately I forgot. The answer is somewhere down there:

You partly illustrate my point - you talk of artificial brains as if

That's the magic of thinking in scenarios. For you it may appear as if
we couldn't differentiate between reality and a thought experiment.

Not useful. AGI is still a hypothetical state and its true composition
remains unknown. At best you can measure how much of an AGI plan is
completed, but

No, the collective brain is actually a somewhat distinctive idea.
Just a way of looking at social support networks. Even social
philosophers centuries ago had similar ideas--they were lacking our
technical understanding and used analogies from biology (organicism)
instead.
Researchers from the German Max Planck Society claim to
have developed mathematical methods that allow (virtual and
robotic) embodied entities to evolve by their own.
They begin with a child-like state and develop by exploring
both their environment and their personal capabilities.

Matt,
People who haven't studied
logic or its notation can certainly learn to do this type of reasoning.
Formal logic doesn't scale up very well in humans. That's why this
kind of reasoning is so unpopular. Our capacities are that small and
