Ask not "How" but "What". Is their reliance on figures and their notion that effects always follow causes the limited creation of a future m-w magician?

I read accusations that S&B operates in secret and assume this causes information loss designed to stymie AI development. Why do I feel that your agenda is S&B's?

Answering a question with a question is your style not mine. Take the simpler proposition and see if it happens. Any AI that's better than what I foresee as a global realization of a parallel implementation of Ingrid (grids-in-motion) would get my support so either way you'll have your chance. BTW, do you know how many AI implementations has S&B scuttled? Why is Zapata making its move on the net?

Try "George Kelly Ingrid" or better still search for a course on how to search. (Sorry, but you're asking for trouble by not doing enough for yourself.)

Since I first used Ingrid, I can't express how hard it is to put my vaporware into english. My brain now rapidly construes in grids and as yet has no user friendly semantic interface, but don't worry, I'm getting closer to finding a way out of this high dimensional dilemma.

I didn't ever say the net would be running the show; - you did. In practice the adopted set of decentralized plans will be running the show and continuos feedback will adjust those plans without today's delays and incompatibilities. Only private plotting that keeps destroying the messengers can stop the development of a global governance based on artificial intelligence.

Let's look at something else for a change. Caesar, Lincoln and Kennedy according to what I know were assassinated for wanting to print debt free money; - a big mistake. Will a simple treaty proposal calling for synaptic links to be mandatory in all new software releases usher in a new round of assassinations? I am making such a proposal right now.
