Hi,
I'm working on a "mini version" of the proposal to send to some "big
name" acquaintances to recruit their endorsements for Itamar's and my
project...
BTW though, I mentioned your comments about Larry Page to my friend
Rod Furlan (who knows Larry) and here was his reply
We can see from his comments to Rod what Larry's view on AGI is: he
doesn't think a complex AGI architecture like mine or Itamar's is
needed ... he sorta thinks it's going to emerge from what Google is
already doing via processing masses of data. If he believe that then,
yeah, he'll believe there's lots of Al work going on at Google...

Larry Page told me something completely different just a few weeks
ago. He said that he finds it hard to get Googlers to seriously work
on AGI and that in fact, that he would be willing to invest on
external AI projects because in his view not enough people are working
on it right now. He also said that he believes that AGI will "emerge
from mountains of data, lots of computing power and a simple
algorithm" and then he went on to be completely wrong on his reasoning
of how simple intelligence must be because doesn't take much
information to express it in DNA.
