Listen now (7 min) | Thank you for tuning in to this audio only podcast presentation. This is week 60 of The Lindahl Letter publication. A new edition arrives every Friday. This week the machine learning or artificial intelligence related topic under consideration is, “General artificial intelligence.”
On another matter, the county I live in is part of a larger regional community library system with extensive resources. I just noted that the libraries have begun adding sound booths and microphone support for Podcasters. I will check on the equipment setup. Another reason to go to the library. When I can return to writing I will finally give it a try. When I do a PodCast it will be you that I credit and reference as motivating me to take the plunge. Thank you.
Nice post and I read two of the links. Intriguing. I've always been suspect of The Turing Test philosophically. I think progress on this planet has been defined when humans threw off their limitations and developed tools of all sorts so as to end the artificial limits of our bodies. I believe machine intelligence, in the same way that an ox was a big improvement with plowing, silicon will or already has superceded human capacity in many domains.
I used to make the light-hearted joke that even a nominal PID controller has made it practical to make soup for 8B people, something a human operator would never have been able to scale. With the limitations of the human mind and our dexterity we would still be making it on a series of stoves.
