Hi Bill,
When we sleep, we rest our biosystem..give it a chance
to filter toxins, rebuild, let digestive etc. juices
replenish or allow organs to relax. The brain goes over
items of the day/concern and some subconcious feelings
may blend in to help give us clues the next day...all
of that can be organized and setup even in current AI.
I for one don't want to emulate a person per se,
I do want to see some personality, independant honesty,
and a new perspective on ideas and facts that can be
communicated...let the machine be a better machine.
As for a distributed intelligence...one large
database linked (served) to several area's could
emulate what the other poster suggests, I suggested
an end of conversation/session ftp /defbrain transfer
to update master database (was in sci/edu setting),
not sure yet how that will work out...thinking also
to network /defbrain by setting common network path
also in hal.uhp but only let one ata time login.
For that matter...doing online scan/search then
parsing the results into text file and batch
converting to brn files would fit inside current
Hal's system (may need more ram/file allowance
hard coded or optimized). The idea being alot
of info/texts/ebooks are available via html or
online...lots easy to transfer to html so Hal
could even just parse html without doing any
intensive categorizing unless user is actually
discussing topic with hal.
Unless I missed something then setting triggers
or keywords (emotional type triggers) would give
Hal incentive to do another set of instrucions.
One thing we are missing is Hal can't see or
even note tonal variations (if angry/sad/happy)
but that could be tailored by user profiling
and body language/setting is another trigger.
Most of the AI's out there are not too far
off right now...just need some spit and glue. ;-)
As to the hal to hal via machine language...
that is more processor dependant as hal only
sits on an operating system that sits on
hardware..some of that hardware is a cpu.
And to be honest...likely it won't get smarter
as most likely you will either end up with
"twins" or the LCD (lowest common denominator).
It's the human interaction (unpredictable response)
and varied data (reads help files/texts) that
gives it more spunk/education. However most
of the AI online in chat sessions don't seem
to be gaining intellect or knowledge so much
as rudimentary social (or anti-social) skills.
