I marvel at what others find marvelous and vice versa. When I expressed to my dad (when I was 15 maybe) that I thought his work as a tax assessor looked pretty tedious, he responded with a typical "you get what you put in" argument. His favorite saying was: "If you're bored, then you're boring." I get it intellectually ... but sheesh. Taxes?

Perhaps I'm perverse; considering the difference between an AI and a database reasoner is interesting. Going back to Marcus' point, perhaps keeping track of and reasoning over facebook posts or amazon purchasing habits would be deeply interesting to a Database, but mind-numbing to a general AI. -- ☣ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
