MIT has always been honorable place for AI, but IMHO - only from 50s to 70s.http://isquared.mit.edu/They seem from those who don't know or deny the term "AGI" - of course, classical guys, "they created the field".I am not really impressed yet, European IMCLEVER project with Schmidhuber is way better, a real AGI project and a real competition. However this is MIT - very rich and very big....

"GAI" stuff - ridiculous ignorant AI articles, unaware of the existence of the AGI community

Enjoy some funny ignorant "GAI"-stuff (or worse) I reached to by a friend's link:Unthinking MachinesSolving AIMinsky, Chomsky...It seems possible and funny that the AI grandfathers don't even know about their grandsons (see the blog) and their theoretical progress in AGI, and that many of them consider "AI" a retired (retarded) term....

Information Overload and Brain Computing Power are Extremely Exaggerated - Repetitions, Noise, Junk Data and Miscalculations

For example: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/10/AR2011021004916_2.html?sid=ST2011021100514http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/10/AR2011021004916_2.html?sid=ST2011021100514 I'd question their methodology and claim for pocket calculators as having such a share, but this one is the best: "But Hilbert offers a humbling comparison. Despite our gargantuan digital growth, the DNA in a single human body still stores far more information - and a single "human brain computes far...

News: Independent Scalable Artificial General Intelligence and Self-Impoving General Intelligence (AGI & SIGI) Tribune & Society - Forum/Magazine/E-zine/"Journal"/Circle

Well, the idea and the reason for it: Official AGI Journal and Independent AGI E-zine. Declare it "founded". It doesn't need to be formal etc., it's something that exists and has existed anyway, this blog has been one of the tribunes of this society, but coining a name may assist in locating it and taking it more seriously. Whatever. :) "Founding members" are: Todor Arnaudov and X (As of march 2012, his membership wsa disciplinary suspended for prolonged abuse of other members and sociopathic "god-complex" attitude). The...
