hah... I mentioned this email to my wife and she said "Noo, don't cut
your hair, it's so sexy', You managed to get a hedge fund started
with long hair, so what's the problem?"
But of course, if some sufficiently awesome opportunity comes up that
requires me to adopt a different look or persona, I'm wilting to do
that.... Getting AGI built is more important than preserving the look
I'm used to and my wife likes .... Back in 2000 I had short hair for
a while...
It seems, though, that long hair has been no obstacle to me getting
taken seriously as a futurist pundit.... And short hair has not
caused Joscha, Itamar etc. etc. to get ►oads of AGI funding ;p
If there are folks you'd like to introduce me to, who you think would
be put off by my current appearance, I can buy a nice suit and tie my
hair back in a ponytail, and I guess that may suffice? ;)
On a more interesting note, I just heard from David Hanson that he's
been talking to you about you potentially funding our joint
AGUrobotics research efforts, as well as about him sculpting a
robo-Epstein for you
That would be awesome. I'm sure you will
really enjoy meeting David, he's a dynamic guy as well as a canny
entrepreneur, an innovative scientist and an amazing artist.... He is
exactly the collaborator I needed in order to work on robotics.... I
feared dealing with robotics for a long time, because working with
robot mechanics can be a huge time sink. But with an innovative,
AGI-friendly roboticist as a collaborator, I think robotics can be a
very productive direction for OpenCog AGI...
Thanks for helping out Joscha, by the way. He had kind of resigned
himself to not being able to focus on AGI, and you have totally
changed his outlook and attitude !! It's nice to see ;)
