Speaking for myself, I find your presence, energy and most of all mind
very stimulating. I am very glad you are here. Having said that I
sympathize with the question. I would love to see more here on
actually building strong AI. It is a wonderful interesting list in
any case but sometimes (much of the time) it seems to lack focus.
The wild ideas are fun although I doubt any mailing list can do most of
them real justice. Probably though this is what you would expect of
really bright people reaching for the edge beyond which they cannot go.
I hope you stick around.
