I read trough the lexicon. I agree with most of it, however there is one

thing we might have to add.



The provided theory supposes that AI will be made at some specific point

in the future, in a hard takeoff as I understand it. It supposes things

to go allong the Grey Goo AI or Seed AI Shell scenario (the Alpha-Omega

scenario can only unfold if the devoloper was the army, which is highly

unlikely to be on the course for AI).



These scenarios are interesting from the theoretical point of view, but

are foundationless in praxis. Quite frankly, I don't belive in a hard

takeoff ever occuring in a MeatNet, it never hapened before and it never

will.



But I will not resort myself to be a raw critic, I do have something to

contribute from my hard work:

- The hypothesis of modular intelligence: According to which, AI would

be made from cooperating modules, each preforming a specific task or

offering a specific service; for example a NLU, cooperating with a

global database service, cooperating with a neural net, cooperating with

a genetic algorithm, cooperating with an internet phone service, would

surely pass the turring test.

- The theory of pseudo-modules: According to which, the modules of the

above AI could truly exist or be simulated by humans doing the job

untill they "truly exist". This theory brings a hard takeoff and the

Omega Point to HERE and NOW or in other words to the moment when the

level of cooperation is sufficent.

- The method of public prefered introduction: According to which, AI is

introduced into this world in a way that the public can directly

benerfit from it and thus the Omega Point is reached possibly without

anyone noticing it.



A good point here is that the scarry part, is at once the key to the

most direct way to AI. What I'm saying is: If you think that nanobots

would cover the planet if they were reproducing on the loose, then let

them go and proove it!



C'ya!
