Subject: one more thing: Job possibilities
BTW, I'm sorry if the information I sent last night wasn't optimally organized
(though I did put some thought into it); to be honest, I'm in a bit of a panic
lately due to Novamente's situation. Laying off some of my AI staff has been a
bit upsetting to me: as you know, this isn't just
Another thing I should mention is that, if I **fail** to dig up some funding for
Novamente or myself in the immediate term, I'll be on the job market in early
August. (Although in the absence of new funding or contracts, Novamente will
still have a tiny revenue stream -- this revenue is for programming contracts
that my colleagues can fulfill better than me, so it makes sense for me to use
the tiny revenue stream to pay them, and seek my own income elsewhere.)
So, in that case, I'm curious if there might be any employment opportunities for
me in your organization. Of course, AGI research is what I'd most love to spend
my time on; but if I can't get funding soon, I'll have to do **something** else.
My preference is to work from home, but I could be in NY 2 or 3 days per week if
necessary.
Just an idea: I'm casting my net pretty wide at the moment...
thx
