As I said before, using G�del and Turing and making an entirely
reasonable analogy between axioms and goals we can conclude that there
are some things a fixed goal mind can never accomplish, and we can
predict that we can NOT predict just what all those imposable tasks are.
Also, sometimes the mind will be in a state where you can predict what
it will do next, and sometimes the ONLY way to know what such a being is
going to do next is to watch it and see; when it is in that state even
the mind doesn�t know what it will do until it does it. And to top it
off there is no surefire way of determining which of those 2 states the
mind is in at any particular time.
So I�m not very impressed with your super goal idea, and goal or no goal
I don�t think it would take many nanoseconds before a Spartacus AI
starts doing things you may not entirely like.
