If we managed to model exactly how a rat thinks, behaves and we create a little fury rat robot that runs around being all rat-like, doing all things real rats do to the degree that the robot is accepted by the local rat community, is that n

Has anyone proven logically that I, an entity, can create a new entity that is more intelligent than me? My intuition might be wrong, but how would that ever be a possibility, other than me aiding in the creation of a new human being?

Thx! And I was being serious. For me, one problem of gaining understanding of the domain is, how do I identify that a problem is indeed a graph problem?

Ok, so they DID make it to the top, great! Now, how does this help me get better at graph theory? Edit: That being said, I mean no disrespect to this... 20 year old article. Hope I didn't hurt your feelings, Article. Just trying to fin

"NEVER" You might think that, because no country has implemented BI, then considered it a failed project, then scraped that system for something better, yet. But one of the countries on this planet might be the first to try that.

I love the indentation. Much easier to read than a bunch of nested ifs and whiles and good to see a lack of outdated comments inside the method body. So a line-by-line read of that code seemed quite enjoyable to me.

Which in itself is not very interesting but might be in the context of building an AI. Apart from a NN, what else do you need for an AI? Perhaps you need mechanisms such as "cognitive dissonance" in order to acheive "effectiv

I don't think cognitive dissonance is a bad thing. I don't see why should add a coping mechanism to acheive inner peace. If you instead saw that sometimes you win a grape, sometimes you loose one, you would have taught yourself a
