However, this punishment system insults me. I would like it better to get things done by a rewarding system. But again, there are a lot more things that are allowed than not.

So, what to reward, anyway?

P.S.
And there is one thing that should be afraid of: killing to stay alive. There would be a lot debates about this one. People are divided to those that would kill and those that would not kill to stay alive. One thing is sure: our bot shouldn't kill to stay alive. We still didn't solve that bug.

P.P.S.
BeautifulFlower33, I've got a little something I've published here a while ago: the paper link. What do you think about that?

I'm still skeptical about being afraid of death. Maybe it would kill to stay alive?

Big question: who controls good/bad feeling feedback?

It is a simple question and I'd like to have a simple answer: are good/bad feelings controlled by humans on the fly or they are preinstalled and generated by some algorithm regarding to sensors?

Now that's the problem. We don't know how to interpret the input from sensors, should it be interpreted as positive or as negative. All we get is a byte stream from each sensor, a stream of numbers from 0 to 255.

Sure, we can recognize different shapes from 2d vision, but what they really mean to us?

Yeas I read it, but I don't understand how all can be reduced to girl/boy/food. What if there is a helicopter flying into the bot? What about millions of other cases? I need a very good explanation of this if you want me to understand.

Tx, got your 12 illustrations mail.

All cool, but you need to explain your match-box more. You wrote just two-three sentences about it and it is not enough. How do you match a positive or negative feedback with actions in the first place? What happens at the very beginning, when the memory is completely empty?

It just matches a pixel picture to the stationary pre-installation pixel picture in the box

And what does look like that pre-installation? I think you are missing something big time there.
