Hi Bruce. Since the early 1970's I've had as my life goal participation in technologies that would lead either to Life Extension or to Artificial Intelligence, on the theory that if one of these is achieved, the other will follow in my extended lifetime. My confidence has grown over the years as others have taken up these goals and some, e.g. Kurtzweil have explored the connections between them.
With a gift for programming rather than microbiology, I have finally gotten myself in a position where I can pursue AI research of my own ideas without need of a salary. And having taken mega-vitamin supplements since the 1970's, getting lots of aerobic exercise, and holding our body weight well below our set-points (no free-feeding), my wife and I hope to live well into our 90's which should be sufficient to witness the Singuarity. I am quite interested in these two topics and their connection. ----- Original Message ---- From: Bruce Klein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 10:21:57 PM Subject: [singularity] Poll = AGI Motivation / Life Extension?
