I wouldn't mind helping sculpt an AI project, just to see what the many
brains of this EUPHORIA group can do.

I'm thinking we'd need to start with a worm, though. A worm is probably all
instinct, so it would give us a good foundation on composing the instinct of
a more advanced intelligence. Or maybe not. :)

Here's what our basis could be:

What We Need
----------------------
Virtual Environment
Virtual Worm with Sensory Functions (let's start him off with smell and
touch) and Instinctual Functions (i.e., survival).

Let me ask though... If we created an artificially intelligent worm, would
it eventually learn enough to break out of its mold and become a super
genius worm? Let's find out... :)

Hi all,

 This is such an interesting topic I have to put my 2 cents in.
  Just to address the intelligence part of artificial intelligence.
  Having all of the bodies physiological systems in place,I
think I would approach the brain's programming in two
parts,one part to control the body's physiology and the
other to create A CONSCIOUSNESS.
  Like a neural net,our thoughts are all somehow relevant
to each other,creating kind of a steady stream of related
thoughts that continue from one to the next throughout
our entire waking lives, which in effect is what psychologists
call our consciousness.
  With each new peice of information(variable),our consciousness seeks to
find that new peice of information's
relevance to what we already know.
  Even in cases of insanity,the subjects thoughts have been
proven to relate to one another,they dont just come from a
random place in the dark subconscious.
  So I would establish a programmed loop of thoughts that
relate to each other and have one lead to the next. A small
loop to begin with,perhaps with some of the a.i's basic
drives.Then,as it learns new things,I would first have the
a.i sort it's relevance,then insert it somewhere in the loop
of its own consciousness.
  I would think that we would also have to establish an
environment for the a.i.Each person is a product of
their environment,upbringing and experience. So where
does Darius exist,does it have an environment and how
would that affect the stream of its consciousness?
  Anyway, I've got  programming diagrams and notes on things like emotion
and expression if  anyones interested
in this approach.
  We should continue this thread,perhaps all contribute
to Darius,or start from scratch.A euphoria community
a.i. project.What would you all think of this?
  Or generally speaking,what would the community think
of any kind of group project? I think any organized project that consists of
more than say ten people in
collaboration would be a feat in itself.
  Most decent software today is the result of a good team.
We should get organized,do something...really create
something big...like an a.i. project!!

                                          Thanks for listening
                                                     JDUBE
