No, the VPOP is supposed to be, in a way, a safe **narrow AI** with a goal of carrying out a certain kind of extrapolation What you are doubting, perhaps, is that it is possible to create a suitably powerful optimization process using a narrow-AI methodology, without giving this optimization process a flexible, AGI-style motivational system... You may be right, I'm really not sure... As expressed many times before, I consider CEV a fascinating thought- experiment, but I'm not even sure it's a well-founded concept (would the sequence be convergent? how different would the results be for different people?), nor that it will ever be computationally feasible ... and I really doubt it's the way the Singularity's gonna happen!! -- Ben G ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&id_secret=57873034-fffb7b
