It does work because the truth is popular. Look at prediction markets. Look at Wikipedia. It is well known that groups make better decisions as a whole than the individuals in those groups (e.g. democracies vs. dictatorships). Combining knowledge from independent sources and testing their reliability is a well known machine learning technique which I use in the PAQ data compression series. I understand the majority can sometimes be wrong, but the truth eventually comes out in a marketplace that rewards truth. Perhaps you have not read my proposal at http://www.mattmahoney.net/agi.html or don't understand it. Most AGI projects don't even address the problem of conflicting or malicious information. If you have a better way of dealing with it, please let us know. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- singularity Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/11983/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/11983/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&id_secret=98631122-712fa4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
