ABSTRACT

Dr. Ben Goertzel - Artificial General Intelligence: Now Is the Time Essay: www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0701.html Abstract: When the AI field was founded over 50 years ago, it was squarely focused on the grand dream of creating software displaying general intelligence at the human level or beyond. Since that time the field has drifted in a direction Ray Kurzweil has called "Narrow AI": the creation of intelligent software applications carrying out highly particular functions. The relationship between this sort of narrow AI and "artificial general intelligence" (AGI) as in the original dreams of the AI field, is an issue of dispute among experts. Some...

AI BABY lives on internet.... in google and learning.... linux

[PrsnlFrdm911]

maybe advances of subatomic particles of the human brain and teaching AI baby everything known to man, we may actually find a way to break through that 10 percent brain power barrier and fix the world or better yet, make one really kick ass video game

This is *all* a simulation. Everything; would-be people are merely artifacts of a PROGRAMMED REALITY that I exist within. I initially came cross Goertzel by reading his 'The Structure of Intelligence'. Around the same time I tried to pursue studies of AI and Info Science when my life was destroyed for all intents and purposes. I was shocked (electrically?) several times and now continue to hear 'voices in my head' -the voices being an emotional substitute for the virtual, PR I try to evade.

That is fascinating man. I hope soooo much that to come out to be The Key. I'm not a scientist but I get a hard :D even listening to that kind of stuff (am I a Sciencephyle?)..
