You said that applied to intelligence, not IQ. But no biggie.

See, you don't even know the requisites, so how can you even be 
contemplating full-blown AI?!?!

You cannot even desire to avoid that condition if you don't realize what 
the condition means! So you are wrong on this point. It is not desire 
that matters, it is the knowing to the point of understanding, of 
putting into the context of one's own existence.

I put that a bad way. "She'd be dead" should have been, "it would cease 
to exist." That's death, but death usually only occurs to something that 
was once alive. I can burn up a piece of paper and it would cease to 
exist, but we wouldn't say it's dead.

Tiggr is not alive, yet. ;)

> And she wouldn't care, she has no desire to stay "alive".

She has no desire to stay alive because she doesn't know how to put that 
(life/death) into the context of her own existence.

In order to "desire to stay alive," one has to understand life vs. 
death. Unless you understand that, you won't have a desire one way or 
the other. (Even people who DO understand this often times do not desire 
to stay alive.) :(

But for us skeptics, it was blah blah blah... right Kat? Don't tell me 
you're gettin' all spiritual on us. ;)

I call that a waste and the wrong approach... but what do I know?

You understand, however, that even a child's brain is billions of times 
more complex and functional than ANY computer we are conceptualizing 
these days...

I hate to be negative, but truth is truth: Your AI will never hope.

Until our scientists (or Kats) start to understand the requisites, they 
will always be on the wrong path to AI.
