- jonmc12 18y agoNope, Cyc was built off a ridiculously complicated upper ontology using $80M+ over 25 years.
- wmf 18y agoLet's put Wolfram and Lenat together; maybe their ambition will reach critical mass and create some sort of black hole.
- jonmc12 18y agoGood idea, but not likely. If ambition was a weak attractive force, like gravity, then ego would be a localized, strong repulsive force, like two positive electro-magnetic forces. Estimating the ego of Wolfram and Lenat, it would take somewhere on the order of 10^9 ambitious geniuses for the net force of ambition to overcome the local force of ego.
