However, I advise taking Ben seriously, including him in political and social discussions, and trying to follow his line of reasoning. Anyone who does so without prejudice will learn a great deal about AGI and can form their own well-informed opinion on the matter. x.com/bengoertzel/...

And yet, what @bengoertzel, founder and CEO of SingularityNET, says about (the potential threat posed by) generative AI or AGI is far wiser and more profound than the vast majority of statements made by the heads of Frontier Models and their harshest critics—not to mention politicians.

The system achieves human-level classification rates where, obviously, the images shown are ones that were not presented during the training phase. The engine behind it all is the hierarchical architecture I mentioned when we met. Although this is a small-scale demo, it emphasizes the core competencies of the approach: robust information representation of complex patterns, based on examples alone. - Itamar EFTA00771647

Hi Jeffrey, So ... I'm going to be in the US for a while this summer... According to my current schedule, I'm free to meet anytime within July 21- Aug 31 on the East Coast ... does anytime in that window work for you? Aug 1-3 I tentatively plan to be in California and we could meet there if you plan to be out there.... We have been doing lots and lots of interesting stuff with OpenCog and Hanson Robotics; I could summarize via email but it would be more fun and productive to discuss in person.... Among other things, we are finally using OpenCog to control the Hanson robot heads now -- they're not yet doing anything genius, but at least there is something to show, and we can make them smarter and smarter now via integrating more of our OpenCog research code into the robot-control system... (The robot is a concrete focus for combining cognition, language, perception and action ... advantageous in various ways compared to the video-game stuff we were playing with earlier ... but in the end of course it's cognition and learning that are key not the robot, it's just a medium...) As noted in earlier emails, Jim Rutt and Cassio and I have worked out a quite detailed OpenCog project plan for the next 3 years ,which I think would lead us to a (the?) revolutionary breakthrough in AGI. We are proceeding according to this plan already but obviously more funding would accelerate things. We have talked to some HNW individuals recently who have made positive noises, but noises aren't money ... still, even with our current inadequate funding we are making more progress than in previous years, which is really rewarding and fun for me... these are awesome times for AI, and it's just gonna get better... Anyway -- let me know if the timing works out for meeting up, I really hope so... thanks Ben Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org Super-benevolent super-intelligence is the thought the Global Brain is currently struggling to form... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.O.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>conversation-id</key> EFTA_R1_01563247 EFTA02458762 Epstein Web iOS app on the App Store.
