I think it'd be easier to invent our own virtual species of worm that lives on a PC. The problem is, we want to create a sentient entity, right? > And thats not to say > we couldn't just invent a type of worm that has instincts that we > provide.After all, we will become,in effect,its creator! Probably the easiest option, wouldn't you say? There are two approaches: 1. create an actual AI entity whose "world" is the PC (+internet). The PC's hardware thus becomes its "body." 2. EMULATE an AI entity in an artificial (emulated) virtual environment (a worm in a glass bowl, for instance). I don't know which would be easier. I'd like to hear thoughts on it before I delve into it more.
