RPI for decades has been working various cutting edge AI projects. And IBM is a long time sponsor.
Better than Second Life, is a virtual world modeled after the real world. Like Google Earth with its model buildings, as it gets better, having AI entities serve useful purposes. So a virtual world CAD'ish type wikiland where data of the environment is supplied by everyone and multiple sources. And then intelligent agents facilitate growth and refinement of the data acquisition. Current internet data is all smushed out, it's not aggregated in the right places. Does all this lead up to global simulation? Is all data and knowledge accumulation an attractor to the ultimate universal simulator? Data and knowledge will tend to eliminate redundancy towards a reduction of energy state, so knowledge may coalesce into a reality mirror and hyperreality extrapolation as time goes on. IOW after a while the hyperreality will render reality minimalistic. OOPS sorry folks nobody said brainfarts are not allowed on the AGI list!
