[LOCKSUIT]

Hello, Korrelan.

I would like to propose something.

If I created a proper layout for you, that would result in a virtual baby that:

1) Randomly wiggles and makes sounds on its stomach.
2) Learns to crawl and laughs.
3) Improves its crawl to crawl faster.
4) Randomly swerves left and right as it crawls.
5) De-learns circular crawl actions.
6) Cries at walls and learns to turn before getting to walls.
7) Follows with its eyes the thing moving once it stares at it.
8) Learns to mimic body movement and speech.
9) Improves at mimicking.
10) Names things.
11) And learns to play a game and laughs.

Would you take on the project?

Hi BF33

I feel our two approaches to the AGI problem are incompatible.

Thanks for offering but I’ll have to decline.

 

Though I would suggest you produce the above anyway, when you do find someone willing they will need detailed technical specifications of the proposed system.

Good Luck.

*Slips in*

Same goes for me, our work is different from each other.
So that's a no even if you asked me, Locksuit.

*Flies away*

It's not about what you know or what you want to build or have been able to build. I proposed that I would give you the proper needed instructions to easily follow, that which would result in what I stated.

There's no reason to pass it up. You will be able to easily follow the given type of instruction, whatever form it will be in. And, the result, as stated, and as will be shown in the set of instructions proving it would result, is too amazing to pass up.

It seems like we were all thinking about flying to and from some place, cool. "Disappears".

[Korrelan]

I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

 

[LOCKSUIT]

What's the problem with the proposal?

You would be able to follow the instructions easily with joy. (A animation of the baby and lights moving on the labelled schematic each step of the way and more this is just a quick example).

And the result would be amazing.

So why not?

I think so. If you seen the instruction video of it folding out with the other side of the screen visually showing each step of the process.

I don't see the reason why you desire to refuse. Please explain.

[kei10]

I don't see the reason why you just want one person to handle it. Create all of that you've listed, and post everything in a single thread. Then let anyone find interested to work on it with their own will.

@BF33

No.

Nope.

No thanks, I won’t be able to make it.

Not this time.

No thanks, I have another commitment.

Unfortunately, it’s not a good time.

Sadly I have something else.

Unfortunately not.

I have something else. Sorry.

Apologies, but I can’t make it.

Maybe another time.

Sounds great, but I can’t commit.

I’m booked into something else.

I’m not able to make that time.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I’m not able to make it this week/month/year.

I’ve got too much on my plate right now.

I’m not taking on anything else right now.

Bandwidth is low, so I won’t be able to make it work.

I wish I could make it work.

Not possible.

I wish I were able to.

If only I could!

I’d love to — but can’t.

Darn! Not able to fit it in.

Nah.

Rats! Would’ve loved to.

I’m slammed.

It's too dangerous Locksuit. The risk of being kidnapped by a foreign power is too high. Even your own government must see you as a threat. You should forget that you ever invented it.

[LOCKSUIT]

Then indeed I change my proposal stance - to anyone. I figured that korrelan may have been a well trained 3D VR master more than most people.

Still, I don't see why no one who can is refusing (so long as can i.e. processing power). Please explain why not.

Do you think it'll be too confusing?
Do you think the result is null and boring?
Do you think you don't care at all to create it?

If I was trained and possibly could do it, and seen something amazing in an impressive visual demonstration of what it does and how it's exactly working each step of the way to be coded, and wanted either immortality or more entertainment on this planet, then I would take it on.

[kei10]

I'm sure korrelan has briefed every reason there is to say to you, Locksuit.

Well, unless... you're willing to pay some expenses... ... ... Oh, wait, I'm the one who said this, not korrelan. 

Otherwise, work the whole project on your own from scratch like everyone else has been doing. You've made your baby robot using Flex, I don't see why you can't start a new.

 

[LOCKSUIT]

I simply don't truly believe he is so busy and, with the proper video, couldn't be convinced to drop a project and start working on mine.

It needs a almost human baby body and big processing to work, no technic...
