Happy New Year to all the group! Hi JC: I think your post below was quite good! ... That's one way to look at it. A good way as for our purposes. Mostly, I...

Bill, Well, respect for trying. But, as I pointed out in a fairly recent post, you guys typically make generalisations without ever trying to apply them to...
Eray: Clearly, Mike has no clue about the relevant journals. Much of the strong AI research I talked about models universal learning, Mike should really try to...
Let me put the issue in plain English for you. What you guys are suggesting is that there is a formula for solving the following creative problems - creating...
... Pffff, these are design problems, four of them artistic designs, and one an engineering design, and have nothing to do with "unknown". Automated design is...
... No. Consider yourself unbefuddled. You having trouble balancing your checkbook? ... There are also no things on this planet that are not made of atoms. ...
... Well, at least we now know that Mike is clueless as to what he is talking about. Let him demonstrate a single uncomputable function on *any* textbook and I...
I wish there were an edit or delete button. Obviously a post such as my sleepy "forget it" impulse of a bit earlier this morning serves no useful purpose... I...

... Yes, excellent! ... Well, now that's quite a controversial statement. Some have argued that we lack nothing we don't already have... That the problem lies ...
Joe:what does that mean? An infinite amount of time and resources? This is a typical AI-inspired dream state: if we can utter it then it must be computable....

Those are not uncomputable, they are known as semi-computable. Show a single uncomputable function on any textbook. How hard would that be? Anyway, the point...
