My point was how do you test the *truth* of items of knowledge. Google tests
the *popularity* of items. Not the same thing at all. And it won't work.
Science and scientists gain knowledge not just by passing info. about things
around, (as you propose), but by continually testing and expanding that
info through interdependent and continuous physical observation of those
things, physical experiment on those things, physical discovery/
dissections of parts of those things, and physical invention of new sensors
to see new dimensions of those things AND several other processes.
So basically do infants and so does Matt M.
An AGI s/trapped in a box is the equivalent of Plato's cave-dwellers chained
in a dark cave. It won't be able to get v. far knowledge-wise or anywise.
Poor thing. How could you? You obviously need an A.S.P.C,A.G.I. alongside
your A.S.P.C.A. Enough of these egocentric concerns with what an un/friendly
AGI will do to *you*. Think about what you're doing to it. How would you
like it?

How do you resolve disagreements?
This is a problem for all large databases and multiuser AI systems. In my
design, messages are identified by source (not necessarily a person) and a
timestamp. The network economy rewards those sources that provide the most
useful (correct) information. There is an incentive to produce reputation
managers which rank other sources and forward messages from highly ranked
sources, because those managers themselves become highly ranked.
Google handles this problem by using its PageRank algorithm, although I
believe that better (not perfect) solutions are possible in a distributed,
competitive environment. I believe that these solutions will be deployed
early and be the subject of intense research because it is such a large
problem. The network I described is vulnerable to spammers and hackers
deliberately injecting false or forged information. The protocol can only
do
so much. I designed it to minimize these risks. Thus, there is no
procedure
to delete or alter messages once they are posted. Message recipients are
responsible for verifying the identity and timestamps of senders and for
filtering spam and malicious messages at risk of having their own
reputations
lowered if they fail.
