Theo, Why would you bother? How many people, do you think, give a s**t? The ones you are at war with will not be convinced, and the bystanders are just...
... Hmmm... good advice. It is good advice Ronald. On the other hand, you know how I love doing things "my own way" :) I think that trait is not about to...
... i second that. theo, i've been targeted by assholes, so i know what you're feeling. at the same time, though, you have to grow a much thicker skin. the...
Hi everyone, ElfData 5.09 is out. Just some minor additions that make it possible to use ElfDataDictionary as a fast general sorter. I've got a demo of the...
Hi everyone, I've decided to rename my logic project, to "AngeliCog". This way, it still contains all the letters for "Angel Logic". But it sounds better, and...
Hi everyone, So my new AngeliCog thing, with "set" functionality has been delayed, due to the fact that I don't quite understand how sets should be processed...
Hi everyone, So... I've been working hard on "real life" work, you know the kind that makes money. Most weekends I don't have the energy left to focus on...
here's an example of my new code at work: " $wheel type[$round $balanced $hole_in_middle] $tyre are $wheel? # No: tyre no_clue wheel $tyre inside $round $tyre...
Looks like you'd have to define the universe in your code, which is "somewhat" of a drawback. I'm quite sure that's not what you're after, but by looking at...
Define the Universe? You mean... enter all the details? How else do you expect it to work? :P The nice thing about a logical system, is that it will good at ...
The only way I could see such an endeavor to work is if the language we used was a mathematical language. A language where the words do not just have the...
... That's because those people don't understand logic. You can't get translation from one language to another, without first having a fully functioning logic...
I'll list some imagined uses, in order of... how long it will take to become useful: 1) An argument resolver. All this really needs, is a good GUI. It's more...
I still don't think it is feasible to reach any practically usable scale within a reasonable amount of time. I do not think 'self-awareness' is an achievable...
... Those are inherant problems. Even the self-aware AI in my vision, may have trouble solving those. I do believe however, a self-aware AI could in time,...
I get the feeling we hold on to different definitions of self-awareness. From what you've told me sofar, I get the impression that your definition is 'being...
... My definition is that: The code should be aware of itself and able to alter itself... to improve itself and add new features to itself. And even fix bugs...
Understood. While I do not agree with your suppositions about awareness (or your definition of it) I now do have a better understanding of what you're aiming...
Pure semantics now. I said self-awareness would require consciousness. I implied that consciousness requires life. Living beings can be conscious on different...
Hi everyone, I finally got a Mac version of AngelCog out. And I renamed AngelLogic to AngelCog. I suppose "Cog" means cognitive, or... like a machine cog, or...
http://elfdata.com/angelcog If I input this file: " wheel [round uniform_density hole_in_middle] red_wheel [wheel red] tyre inside round tyre inside...
It'll be interesting how your AngelCor program will interpret something like "I'm behind the wheel". Other challenges may be: Do you have wheels tonight? A...
... I can already represent this, but in a very clumsy way. I mean... if you are talking about distance. To represent distance based concepts properly, I will...
Hi everyone... OK I know this might not be interesting to all, but whatever... So... let's say my team, in the future, finally creates a self-aware AI. And......
Right. I'm going to pretend you're just being led by a stubborn spirit, persisting in your use of the word 'self-aware'. It doesn't help your case though. You...
... Nah, it's not purposely misleading. Why would it have to be that? Surely it's simply a different definition? When entering an area like this... many...
So yeah... I've been thinking recently. Now, I know the ElfData plugin, for all it's flaws, is a masterpiece. Everything honed and refined, everything...
So, if you take a look at that picture here: http://elfdata.com/temp/5levels.png This is my model of reality. It's a theory that I invented. It basically says...
