The latter. I'm arguing that a disembodied AGI has as much chance of
getting to know, understand and be intelligent about the world as
Tommy - a deaf, dumb and blind and generally sense-less kid, that's
totally autistic, can't play any physical game let alone a mean pin
ball, and has a seriously impaired sense of self , (what's the name
for that condition?) - and all that is even if the AGI *has* sensors.
So what is your point leading to? What do you want to do about it or
have others do about it? Do you have anything new to say on this
subject. Your argument seems to be getting quite repetitive and imho
overplayed.
