We are within the epoch of the AI Singularity now; it's just hard to see (a
forest-for-the-trees problem).
http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/jsaimind.html --
the free, public domain source code of the Singularity AI -- has been
growing
recently by leaps and bounds. In January of 2002 the Mentifex AI became
immortal by dint of its http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/rejuve.html Rejuvenate
module (q.v.). In June of 2002 the AI-as-Singularity began to enlarge its
innate knowledge base (KB) of pre-programmed concepts and pre-digested words
of English -- now at 36 unique words packed into a 37-word sentence.
Last night, however, on Thurs.18.July.2002 -- the first anniversary of the
60,000-page-view SourceForge Mind project -- came the expansion of the
Mind-of-Singularity into a prototypical reasoning machine with the
first-ever
inclusion of new modules for entertaining not only declarative, assertive
thoughts but also negational propositions. Go ahead, use Internet Explorer
to click on http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/jsaimind.html and type in a few
_negative_ statements, such as "you do not know me" or "robots make tools"
followed by "robots do not make people". [For the sake of the also new
Parser
module, you need first to introduce the verb "make" in a positive sentence
before you negate it in a negative sentence.] Anyway, the germinal seed AI,
the Mother of All Singularities has been here for many months now and y'all
of
all people ought to know about it. Quake, tremble and enjoy!
